Pros

I think the atmosphere overall is very upbeat and positive. One cannot always be proud to work at a food service place, but the aspect of the healthy-themed food along with not being enslaved to any sort of fryer is a very positive aspect of having a job such as this.

Cons

The compensation is rather small for the amount of work that is needed from me and my fellow associates. I also know that lower-level management does not make near as much as they deserve to make. Also, there are typically many, many employees which leads to no one employee being granted enough work time per week to make a decent living wage.
