Pros
* Unlimited potential for growth * They prefer to promote from within and tend to exercise every option before reaching out for filling new positions * Job security - they have never laid anyone off * Fast paced - the days go by very quickly * Awesome colleagues - you work with some of the best people you could ask for * 9-5 schedule is exactly as stated - management respects the employees' time away from the office * Challenging - a company with a niche product and service such as CKE will occasionally encounter growing pains. Group efforts provide solutions and almost serve as team-building exercises. * A sense of ownership when you get to observe the growth. * Great perks / benefits / 401k
Cons
* Some growing pains were worse than others. There were a few times when it did get frustrating but nothing that couldn't be overcome. These became rare as time went on and more people were hired to work at the corporate headquarters.
