Pros

You are given a store and the opportunity to build a solid team. The amount of effort you put into your store has a direct effect on your sales/food cost, and in turn, your bonus. Good support system.

Cons

They are crazy about the uniforms! Bad employees can make your life hell. When your 3rd shift cook up and quits on you, chances are, you're working 3rd shift AND 1st shift (9pm-2pm)... You work EVERY holiday.

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.
