Pros

It's easy to balance your life between work and you can grow with this company into management if you are willing to and give your job 100 percent. Just make sure u come to work on time and be dedicated to your job.

Cons

It's a lot of standing on your feet and could cause problems in the future so wear very supportive shoes.

Pros

Schedules are very flexible, time off is just a matter of planning ahead of time. Food is great, so at least you are making quality stuff.

Cons

The people you work with are usually cycling in and out of the company. Turnover rate is very high. Not all regulations are followed everywhere.

Pros

They are willing to work around your schedule. It's good experience in a fast-paced environment. It is a good place to learn teamwork skills. The We Learn training videos are very helpful in making sure people get the same training as everyone else, and there is no mystery in what needs to be done.

Cons

The system is set up where individual gm's get recognition for their own store's success, which leads to a reluctance to promote their best people to management. It is incredibly demoralizing to see every manager cutting corners, yet expecting a perfect performance from crew members. Positive feedback is rare, yet negative runs rampant. There is favoritism, so it helps a whole lot to get the managers to like you. There can be conflicting messages, for example: We need to be faster than our competition vs. We are going to continue to add/modify products to make them more time consuming (go wraps, salads being made as they are ordered, etc.)
