Pros

Paid weekly and decent food. Starting pay for outside hires is great

Cons

Everything else horrible bad atmosphere, upper management doesn’t care employees are treated like a number. Very racist company will only show favoritism to Spanish people. Your very overworked and under appreciated. No one cares and upper management really doesn’t care. It’s a Spanish good ol boy network.

Pros

Paid Weekly, and the Crew Team is going to be the best part of the job, everyone fits in well.

Cons

Giving the fact it is a fast food establishment, mostly things are on the grill, so patience is mandatory, its not fried chicken. Ive seen Managers manipulate employees and decieve them and lie to make them do things just because they do not want to do it. They will lead you on to get a raise or move "higher" up into the company DO NOT BELIEVE IT. I get it "Then why do you still work there if its so bad?" well I got another job as well, dont have to believe me but you wouldnt want to find out yourself
