Pros

Great product, anyone can do this job,

Cons

There's no original thought. Everything is pre-screened by the robots in Dallas, and it's the same pattern year after year after year. They want you to turn the lights on, and help customers. That's it. It's not a job for smart people. Stay away from the Las Vegas location. It's amateur hour. Benefits are TERRIBLE. They lie about the company culture and the "yummy" environment. There's fear and desperation.
