Pros

When left to your own devices to determine how to run projects and build infrastructure with minimal guidance but maximal expectations from above, it creates a pressure cooker situation within which you either sink or swim. Those who swim, however, are destined to only tread water for a short while before meeting their inevitable end here.

Cons

Too many to list, so I'd rather not try.

Pros

Strong brand, national presence, quality product.

Cons

Ownership and upper management have no previous experience in the restaurant industry and claim to know more than they do. They are more concerned with selling franchises than they are about supporting current franchisees. Claim that the company is like a family and that they under promise and over deliver but the opposite is usually true. My job required me to travel 90% of the time but they refused to pay for meals or a per diem. They said that it was not "industry standard". Not only is it industry standard but it is the law in the state of California, which I pointed out, much to their unhappiness. They have since brought in someone at the VP level with extensive restaurant background that has corrected much of this.

Pros

Free yogurt in the office, great office culture for young people, lots of interaction with great people in the lower ranks and franchisees

Cons

Very poor leadership with lack of experience, no room for advancement (one would think that a young company in extreme growth would be great for advancement), senior management would rather overwork people than promote, hire help, or even give raises
