Pros

Good camaraderie, really had some good friends. Good solid job, quite easy work most of the time, enjoyed knowing what I'd be doing each day. I enjoyed the area I was in and the hours were fine for me - you know when you'll be needed and you can usually work around that. The leadership was good in my store but I know it can vary from store to store. There was respect amongst colleagues but they were my friends so you hope so!! Morale was not always the best but it got better on Fridays!

Cons

Cleaning aspects, and dealing with difficult customers. Once or twice a day usually there was a customer who clearly looked down on the work you were doing but most of the time they were fine I guess.

Pros

Experience varies heavily depending on the owner/operator you work for. Free and discounted food. 2 weeks PTO. Vision, Dental and Health insurance. Offers rapid development opportunities.

Cons

Work-life balance is nonexistent. In fact, the director of operations has stated numerous times, “Work life balance is a myth”. The company states you are required to work 45 hrs/week minimum; Realistically, GM’s can expect to work 55-60 hours in store with constant calls and messages when home. The company does not count any work done outside of the restaurant toward your 45hr requirement. There is no training for this position as you are expected to figure it out on the job. They offer $2000 per month performance bonus but are always finding new ways to disqualify you and move the goalposts when you actually earn it.
