High managerial turnover in some locations. Employer does not provide non-slip shoes but requires them as part of uniform. Slight difference in corporate locations and franchise locations.

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.
