Pros

Great opportunity for advancement. Guaranteed 24 days. Performance based income. Stock options. That's about it. I don't have 20 words.

Cons

It is a 24 hour restaurant. No such thing as a sick day. You are responsible for other people who May or May not hold themselves to the same standard as you hold yourself.

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.
