Pros

Excellent IT department, and they do make tasty burgers.

Cons

There was very blatant xenophobia, racism, and nepotism at the top level. There are cameras everywhere that they watch from home. Low morale within a majority of the company. There was a surprising amount of games and fear tactics in the executive office as opposed to clear and productive communication. Overall it's very fragmented, so each department feels like a completely different company.

Pros

They will teach you everything you need to be successful. They have much higher standards than most places, one of the few places I'd have no problem eating at any location. They'll make sure you have everything you need to meet those standards, especially once you get to a management level. They have corporate trainers and the GM at my location was also great. I'm a GM at a different place now and my experience here left me well prepared me for that position.

Cons

Pay. That's the only reason I left, I would have stayed with the company if I could have gotten a raise and I would definitely return if they offered something comparable to what I'm making elsewhere.
