Pros

No pros whatsoever besides cash pay weekly, other than that no positive aspects. And that being said we had to wait all day to get paid.

Cons

Sociopathic management that would say you worked server hours when you were grill op. Not paying you the right rate, making you wait several weeks for backpay. 50 hr work weeks, for 200$, crappy customers that wouldn't tip and give ad hominem insults on your service if a grill op messed it up. Made minimum wage for 14 months, won't go back. Horrible coworkers too, just an overall crappy company to work for. Do not work here.

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.
