Pros

Friends I have made with fellow employees.

Cons

Underpaid, no respect, not staffed, no hours. conspiracies. The manager has sexual relations with all the cooks in every store in the area. A manager can physically assault an employee the still can keep their job, the AD just sweeps it under the run. The cut labor and the staff back so much that a manger has to cook expo, wash dishes, as well as deal with administration work ,the servers,the guest. So when we need a manager sometimes they are stuck on a position. The say we get paid vacations, but you have to average 36 hours a week for a whole year. That would be great if they let you get full time. They try to keep you around 29 hours week. They change the labels on out of date products. They have roaches and mice. Corporate let's the customers do what ever they want. Male customers can grope and sexually harass the female servers. (Per the AD) we can not ask the guest to stop or leave. He said just get them a male server. The guest still make sexual comments to them in passing. The company has turned into a horrible place to work. Micro managed! Just to name a few

Pros

Meeting great staff FOH and BOH

Cons

No monthly salary as discussed during orientation. Bonuses totaled around 700 for year 2024. I was basically an overpaid line cook. No exaggeration. Weekly inventory and truck orders was all there was to do for managers. The rest of the day consisted of being a prep as the open mgr(we literally didn’t have a prep), hosting, bagging orders, and being the best line could you could ever want to be. Get comfortable on broil!
