Pros

Quality food, passionate employees, great guest, high standards and values employees. A lot of opportunity to advance if you want. Great Discounts! Part time associates are eligible for benefits.

Cons

Working with food, unpredictable/inconsistent hours, and sometimes overworked. Benefits are not great, and you don't get good options on your insurance plans.

Pros

Great food, amazing co-workers, decent management. I worked part time, while still in school and had my schedule accommodated.

Cons

Management is always under pressure to cut costs, which at times meant under staffing. Great personal growth, but I think customer experience suffered at times.
