Pros

Supportive culture and great concept Fun all company events Nice benefits package and other incentives Free good was a nice benefit!

Cons

Lack of flexiblity of franchises Strategically the organization couldn't decide who they wanted to be - who to target? how to position themselves? Sr. leadership at times would turn a blind eye to some serious dysfunction within departments Weak financial management below CFO level

Pros

Short drive, Half off food, Will work with you with your schedule.

Cons

GM unprofessional. Not appreciated for your experience and what u can bring to the table. Tips were poor. Poor customer base. Antiquated POS. No patience to train properly. Are bullies. Heating and AC do not work properly. Extreme favoritism. Do not recommend. Oh and if you didn't make your sales quota, u were told you would lose hours. If a table walked out without paying, they made u pay the difference. Callous, unprofessional, employees came last. Sales is all that matters.
