Business Outlook

Pros

Decent Pay compared to some similar restaurants, but mediocre compared to somewhere like Panda Express or White Castle. Good Hours depending on volume of the store. You can build great, long lasting relationships.

Cons

Terrible Management. No clear form of proper promotion, chain of command, or how to rise in station. Ridiculous replacement policy. Unrealistic expectations.

Pros

A sometimes flexible schedule Ocasisionally the staff gets along Good starter job (for a short time) Free employee meal Not as much grease as other fast food restaurants

Cons

Staff turn around is very high Very low pay rate for amount of work/stress In my 10 years experience I've noticed favoritism at multiple locations Very hard to move up within the company Haven't had a raise in 3 years, only raise was during promotion to shift leader Denied insurance because I didn't "see the paper in the office to sign" that I was never told about Training is almost absent, been told for the past year possible promotion to Assistant Manager and still nothing

Great company culture at the time I was there including good benefits, off-sites and team building. I enjoyed the free onsite gym with various classes which also had free weights and machines.

Cons

Some favoritism among managers as with any company.
