Pros

Weekly cash pay Bonus system for the cooks based on sales. You get between 1-2% of shift sales depending on the shift you work and the quality of food you cook. You run your own shift as a cook. No micro management here, I've always been treated with respect and thankfulness by management.

Cons

They don't seem to give raises. I can cook 200$ an hour and basically run the store by myself but get paid the same as this new kid who can even handle 50$ an hour. Working on Christmas and Thanksgiving are mandatory. I'm a young single dude without a family so it's not that big of a deal for me but my older coworkers with children are upset by it.

Pros

If pays well compare to the competition You have the ability to move up very fast especially if you manage a busy restaurant and you keep it clean and staffed

Cons

You don't have any personal life You have a weekend off only every 6 weeks, you can be called at any time of the day or the night when you are working, it's unbearable
