Pros

Pay is good for cooks after a while. Easy to move up because of high turn over. If your shift does a lot of sales you get a cook bonus. You get 2 PTO bonuses a year along with a nice Christmas bonus.

Cons

Sometimes dangerous work environment due to customers. Have been harassed and had dishes thrown at me. Carry pepper spray very visible. Management can be very! Disorganized and irritating

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.
