Joke of a company

Pros

You can be on call 6 days a week to work the grill - for a whopping 50k. You will increase your hand to hand combat skills too with all the crackheads. The upper management are all ex cons with no advanced education - so be prepared to take crap out of resent.

Cons

Recruiters who are incompetent and actively looking for other jobs. Expected to be a glorified cook that works every shift on call

Pros

Employee meal on shift only Good tips Nice customers

Cons

No discounts for employees, veterans or first responders. They take $5 every week for your meal fund, covers breakfast items and fountain drinks only. Any dinner meats, extra eggs, bottled juice or milk is gonna cost you out your own pocket. Management was petty.
