Good place to work

Shift manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Fast paced environment, you will never get bored. Good pay. Good advancement opportunities from a cashier to a shift manager. Good work ethics. You will preform various duties from cleaning the restrooms to making orders. You will be fully responsible for running the store when you manager or MT are not there. If you like to be challanged it is a place for you.

Cons

There is not much advancement opportunity locally. To be promoted to an MT you need to be willing to take any store, which means you need to have open availability. You need to be willing to relocate if necessary. Raises are very low, considering the performance and requirments. I do not think raises are based on individual preformance. It does not matter if you bust your butt of or just sit back you will get the same raise, which is unjust. In some cases there is a lack of employee appreciation from the management, which creates an unhealthy environment and low work ethics(depending on a store manager).

District manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay right out of college. OK benefits. Good opportunity for those who are willing to sacrifice their personal life.

Cons

One of the benefits is vacation time, but you never have a chance to take it, and if you do they make you feel bad and guilty. It is a private company so do as the owner wants you to do or you are out. No openness for opinions. Work as a robot with no feedback.
