      Pros

      flexible hours/ air condtioned kitchen / grill operator; customer interaction/ flexible schedule, generally promote from within, I have the pro s memorized we re told to give the "benifits" in the interview or stop n hires.

      Cons

      as a regular employee with a good manager you re fine. as a manager you give up your life. You are required to work atleast 52hrs a week(.one ofmy last weeksended with 72 hrs)drawer change @9 pm two nights a week(must be weekend)required to be present from12pm to 2am twice/month..you are responsible for all monies inside the unit even on off daysif youre the senior person between you & your asst.you must make goals that are set extremely low(change at anytime)or you re working for pennies.you re not allowed to advertise at all to help mk these..altho smart managers can be creative:)my advice.good place to work as a regular employee..do not take promotions offered..stay out of management.Hmm also dont call in..even if you can t walk/stand w/out pukeing.. worked for a franchise not corp. so maybe better there i don t know.

      Pros

      I would say pay, but when I think ablout all the 60+ hours weeks work I made minium wage. As, a young college grad that looks good to have checks every two weeks 1300-1500. U may have a few employees that u can count on to help u when ur understaffed. I trying to think of good things to say, but I can't.

      Cons

      Long hours, no family or personal time. Immature and whinning staff. The pay is low, but look at what kinds of people that this company attracts. Ur overworked!! U live,sleep, breathe this company. The top pay for a grill operator is$8. I would scarfice my pay to pay grill op bonus without meeting my numbers. Pick up employees for work or be understaff and u will have to work. This is not a company to work for seriously.
