Pros

Quality of life can't be beaten in the industry. Great product and a culture I can be proud to represent.

It's physically demanding due to the fast pace of breakfast.

Pros

Great teamwork. Managers were pretty easy to get along with. Very clean kitchen. I have been a cook for a long time and this was one of the cleanest kitchens iv worked in. They have what they call "White Glove Inspection"

Pros

If you're at a good location you're able to work good hours, make good money, and are given money for going to school if you're a college student.

Cons

The company is extremely top heavy - extreme micromanagement. Managers and cooks are treated poorly.
