Pros

If you need a second job to help pay the utility bills, this is the place because there isn't enough money to pay for anything else.

Cons

The place is as dead as a morgue. For hours all you can hear is the fans on the oven blowing. Business comes in only for a few hours during your shift. While your watching the clock, because there is nothing else to do, you're freezing your butt off. The restaurant is as cold as a meat locker. Customers complain.

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.
