Pros

Paycheck, great food, good team members

Cons

Absolutely racist company. Just look at their current GM staff. Hiring staff are ALL part of their ideal racial makeup. If you want an actual career, seriously, do not waste years of your life moving up the ladder thinking they will give you a chance. If you're thinking of applying, just don't; it's a complete waste of time. Don't think I'm right? Think I'm foolish? Just Google them. Multiple EEOC lawsuits and complaints. The state is CALIFORNIA sued them for this very issue. These complaints go back for over 20 years and are still happening. If you want to become a GM, forget it unless you match then race they want. They're hiring multiple GMs in my market, yet they keep refusing to give anyone a second interview that isn't their own. I know one person who has over 18 years management experience, including fast food, awesome references even from team members, two degrees, and wasn't given a second interview even after crushing it in open interviews. He is caucasian. Consider yourself warned.
