Pros

The managers were nice. Some more than others. Coworkers were great people. Tons of fun! Discount on food was cool.

Cons

Long hours. Some managers are catty and two-faced. Hire a lot of people and still short hand shifts. Barely get 15 hrs/week. Too fast paced and chaotic for allotted number of employees scheduled. No raises available unless promoted in position.

Pros

There were some great coworkers and some nice moments, but those can be found in any other food service job.

Cons

Dirty with bugs that weren't given the time of day by HR. The general managers were intense in a way of always being in a pissy mood.
