      Pros

      Excellent management training program. Great vacation Decent benefits

      Cons

      No 401k matching Mandatory 6-day work weeks Must work all holidays or face termination It is incredibly difficult to retain staff due to high expectations and low pay. No sick days Can be forced to work 17+ hours a day to avoid closing the restaurant if no staff is available. Must be on call at all times during 6-day work week. Forced to live within 10 miles of your location if you are a Manager.

      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.
