Pros

Great food, decent training, decent pay

Cons

Zero work life valance. Corporate is only worried about profit. You will have to work 3 or 4 positions at one time to save labor. You are never set up for success. Super high turn over because Corporate is so bad. Super laye night shifts, some are ooen until 4 am even though there isnt much buisness ofter 2 am. They say you will be running succesfull shifts, but in reality your are grinding out shifts in the kitchen, with zero support, unless you are at a store that has decent sales. 50% of the stores sell less than $50k per week. Some are in the low 30's. Copprate doesnt care to make these stores succesfull they only care about aqueeking out a tiny profit. They do this at the expense of the guests experience, the staffs experience, and your mental health. They are in survival mode and hirirng like crazy. In 4 moths ive seen atleast 4 managers quit, 3 of them new managers. Bonus structure is unachievable.

Pros

Still heavy on the culinary side

Cons

Company started cutting on spending , cut back on bonuses for mangers, and rates for hourlys. Same rate for everyone , with more work and less people. Hardly any PTO. Because of the changes going on, managers have to put in more hours to reach company goals.
