Pros

The managers are great to work with. If you show potential and an actual interest in the company, they have no problem moving you up when there is an open position. Everyone gets to the point where we're more of a crazy family, not just coworkers.

Cons

The only con is some of the upper management. The store managers themselves are very supportive, but every once in a while you run into some upper management who is not as supportive.

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.
