Pros

The pay, benefits, retirement and days off are great compared to other fast food restaurants, even though they we are not fast food, everything is made fresh! Support and hierarchy are good as well!

Cons

They are so attached to the old ways and to the “Show” of requesting and preparing the food the sadly is not well received or learned by many and many applicants and sadly the younger ones, that the turn over it’s astronomical! By being 24hrs non stop, the cleaning is incredible hard to keep and maintain especially during and after rush. I wish there would be a break during some time time of day or night that we could have a team to clean deeply!

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.
