Pros

Great company, hiring great people, and accomplishing great things! Young and fun culture that keeps employees very happy. Weekly happy hours, sports clubs, etc. bring the company together. Management sits directly with the employees which makes them feel more approachable and easy to talk to. Also amazing employee discount!

Cons

There are so many new hires every week it can be hard to get to know everyone! Also, need more company wide holidays.

Bad quality work enviorment

Pros

Simple job, that's realistically about it. The benefits are decent but extremely expensive for what you make.

Cons

Everything. Management isn't motivated to employee happiness, they have a mentality that they can replace anyone and everyone. Sadly, as a base level manager, you barely make more than the associates in the kitchen and do 10x the work. One massive issue is when corporate comes, they switch EVERYTHING to appease them and follow their strict guidelines. We'd waste a good 2 hours redoing each table aesthetically, slowing down production, which then comes back in our face as to why the day was slower than average.
