Pros
Free food, Paid Breaks, a week of training, health benefits available from day one (although they aren't nearly as good as they are anywhere else).
Cons
Very, very low pay for the amount of work you have to do. Co-Workers have gotten carpal tunnel, burns, and stress, some have been hospitalized, and while compensated for hospital visit they are greeted with tons of paperwork for it. Additionally, you have to memorize a ton of equipment, recipes, and techniques. You're expected to prep a specific amount of food in very short amount of time and you can't do so without causing damage to yourself. Some employees are so scared and obsessed that they arrive before their shift to do it off the clock, just to show you how desperate some people are. They force employees to repeat their mottos and standards, instilling it in their brain so that they're part of the cult. All while managers, stockholders and corporate pigs profit off of your hard work. And you better act like you're happy doing it. They know how to take advantage of desperate young people during hard economic times because they know they're easily replaced. Funny how they've gone under fire in the past for hiring illegal immigrants. It's as if they are strategizing and perfecting methods of exploitation.
