Pros

good first step towards employement, you are put in alot of different environments and learn to deal with volumes of ppl coming thru the doors and ensuring how to take care of them really well individually as well as ensurign you meet your goals set out by managers. Turnover is high so tons of oppurtunity to move up but do not do it as an expense to your school work bc some managers will force upon you that you should drop out of school n become a manager and make money. Its not worth it in the long run and ppl need to be aware of such things

Cons

people not showing up to work

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.
