Pros

Great place to work. Great training. Fun atmosphere, great food. Advancement potental. I would work any other place and eat.

Cons

The amount of paper work is in excess. The benifits could be better as they are below the national average for this position.

Pros

i cant think of anything but the food

Cons

management was the worst. they were so unorganized and often made nonsense decisions which in turn caused them to no longer even be respected by the works so workers just do what ever they want. Anything goes here

Pros

Great Co-workers. Family like atmosphere at work. Good food. Discount on that food. Flexible Scheduling.

Cons

Alot of work for the pay. Management constantly disappoints. Hard to get a raise. Non-stop moving for the entirety of your shift.
