Pros

The atmosphere is always busy which makes the day go by fast. Also there is variety as I never work the same position two days in a row.

Cons

The pay is awful. The scheduling is awful (some days I'll close at 1 or 2 in the morning and have to be there to open at 4). Some customers are rude and treat us like we're all idiots because of where we work. A few of our assistant managers aren't very good (they insist we get the order out as fast as possible and say they don't care if it's correct or everything is in there because they have to meet the time deadline even if it means more work later).

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.
