Pros

Employee Recognition is outstanding. Food Benefits are good also.. Top Management is good is communicating vision to employees..

Cons

No match on 401K plan by employer. Pay for shift managers is not equitable. Salaried management opportunities need to be equitable based on experience as well as actual performance on the job....ie Standards for Promotion versus the "gut" of the Store Manager/Supervisor. Career Path for people who want to be promoted from within needs to be more attainable.

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.
