Pros

I was pretty much forced to go around and awkwardly ask phones to write a review for ourselves. Me being a writer I took the opportunity to make funny reviews. A rockstar, a hippie, a sassy mom, the possibilities are endless.

Cons

Okay, you get hours but by hours I mean crazy hours. On a couple of occasions, I went home from work and slept for 4 hours got up, and went straight back to that god-forsaken hell. Why how could this happen. They don't follow the scheduling, which mind you is already terrible. You are not off on your scheduled time ur off when they tell you. They hold your meal break till the last possible second. And sometimes let you violate because to give someone else a meal because of how poor they keep track. If you inform on a doctor appointment or other occasion best believe you should just cancel cause if you say you need to be there at 3 in the afternoon, guess what you're of 10 minutes before 3 in the afternoon. My Orthodontist is a 2 hr job, excuse me. On another occasion, I need to go to the doctor and they held my break from me but decided to make me leave so late. I went in panic mode trying to get food before the doctor and was 30 minutes late. Not only that but they refuse to get the police involved during dangerous situations.

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.
