Pros

Easy place for younger people to make money at. Plus, you can quit and they'll rehire you. Shoot, you can be fired and they'll rehire you!

Cons

Very shady there. Each and every one I've worked at or heard about is drama and gossip ridden. The GMS, assistant GMs, area coaches, etc. They are all bad. I can say so much but basically I've worked to death at that place. It made me sick. Made me a terrible person. Plus the food is fake and full of MSG. Trust me, there are all types of gross things I've had to partake in. Don't let this place suck you in. Some have been working there for 15+ years.

Pros

The people you work with are amazing, if you’re looking for a job with a very flexible schedule this is the one, the managers are good and will work with you the best they can

Cons

Its normally very understaffed and I as just a part time team member do most the work, the pay is not amazing and you can only get up to a certain amount if you’re just a team member, you’re always on your feet and it can be very stressful
