Pros

Not a regular fast food job. Accountability and responsibility is placed on everyone. Very positive/constructive environment. Very high incentives to move up in the company. Very team/camaraderie based. Very fast paced (you will never be bored or count down time till the end of your shift). VERY high standards, easily the cleanest and most well run restaurant I have ever worked in. Best job you could get w/o experience.

Cons

Very hard work. Pay as crew member until you move up (which is VERY realistic) is 8.50/hr. At the end of the day its a hot sweaty, very fast paced, stressful food/beverage job. Can easily become your life if you let it (quite avoidable if you put your foot down w/scheduling)

Pros

Lots of flexibility and good company benefits. Cool office space and good people. The company wants you to learn more and give you the opportunity to do so.

Cons

In the corporate space, very limited career growth opportunities. Current manager micromanages but not terribly. Company performance stinks and leadership does not want to take accountability.
