Pros

The work environment with colleagues and some managers can be great to work with, and employee benefits are reasonable. Flexible with work hours on some conditions, but overall fair. Late and morning shifts are fun if u like working with checklist tasks like me. Work events were often fun, both formal and informal. Uniform is flexible on the lower part.

Cons

On the other side, some managers are difficult to deal with, and training is often hit or miss. Pay isn’t great for hard work, especially after tips were taken away, which really hurts earnings. Long-term employees sometimes slack off during slow hours, making it hard to provide good service and recognition to the secret shopper. Shifts were given unfairly strategically to shorten breaks due to policy.

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.
