Pros

The only pros are free trial food when new items came out. Regular customers were nice and some employees were nice to work with.

Cons

Been in the biz for a while and when someone gets hurt the last thing you want done is to be laughed at by the management. And making out an accident report is like asking for their right arm. Training is another thing that lacked a lot!!! But if you knew how to do this or that be prepared to work in 3 different areas just to keep their labor costs down!

Pros

Great food and mostly good coworkers

Cons

Employee training is now mainly done on a computer and has resulted in less qualified employees than a few years ago
