Pros

It's an easy job, not terribly stressful. Lots of interesting coworkers. Discounted food. Lots of human interaction. Part time and I had relatively flexible scheduling hours, though i am a morning person and did not mind getting up early in the morning to work the morning shift.

Cons

It is an easy job which doesn't require a lot of thought. If you're looking for some thing that will cause you to actually use your brain or engage you, it's not a good choice. Also you smell like hamburger and fries. Plus some of the coworkers can be kind of strang e .

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.
