Pros

This place is like the easiest place to get a job. They work with you when it comes to scheduling, so it's a prtty good place to work as a second job, or if you're going to school. Also, since there arent hundreds of employees, and the average restaurant is not that large, you almost become like a family

Cons

Customers walk in the door thinking that all of the employees are idiots because they work at mcdonalds. The benefits are not that great. It also gets very greasy in the back. Another thing is the smell, it seems to take about 2 showers just to geet it off of you. Pay sucks. They also tell you that you get quarterly evaluations and you get raises accordingly. That's a lie.

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.
