      Pros

      Consistently busy and great customers

      Cons

      Worst franchises I've ever worked for in Sacramento CA. They treat their employees like they are disposable when they already under pay, not loyal to their employees by lying when they are saying there's opportunity to grow. Management is ran by little girls so you can't even run to the owner.

      Pros

      It's a job, and a paycheck.

      Cons

      Low pay, too many hours, franchisees only care about profit, know nothing about the industry, treat employees poorly.

      Pros

      Great Staff, tips can be okay at times

      Cons

      Our Manager was the only problem. When you take your authority to benefit no one but yourself, it makes for a very unpleasant & hostile work environment. To threaten your employees, not to bother going to the franchisee owner about you, that he only cares about the numbers, says something about your character.
