      Pros

      As a grill op starting pay is amazing! $10/hr plus bonus than you can move on to maters and rockstar.

      Cons

      Meal credits are the worst. A certain amount of money is taken from your check every week depending on how many days you work. It if for the food you eat but you may only eat up to $8 worth of food which isnt too bad considering they take about $3 per full shift worked. Anything over $8 must be paid out of pocket. But if you dont eat the money is still taken out of your check regardless.

      Pros

      Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

      Cons

      They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
