Pros

friendly working atmosphere, great upper management, good management. great possibilities to move up in higher positions.

Cons

wage is not as compeitive as it used to be. I am not making much more coming back than I was 6 years ago. and their shifts start at the same as min wage. it doesn't help that we have one of the highest min wages. and there are not enough stores to take in the amount of people that want to be promoted. also people tend to get stuck in the same positions instead of being cross trained as they should be. you can't learn or get better at something if you are never put in other positions.

Pros

*gets to know all the basic jobs to do in a quick service restaurant *best thing about working here is to learn how to interact with a customer/guest. *if someone wants to work in restaurant industry, he will find it useful to work here as it can be a really good learning experience *opportunity to meet new people by serving different guests *less talk, more work

Cons

*not so lucrative for guys who want to interact with guests as mostly they have to work in the back *minimum wage paid for most workers other than the managers *not too much benefits provided from the company to the employees *as it operates through franchises, things can be totally different if the owner or the manager is not so likable
