Pros

It's a really active atmosphere which, to me, is a good thing. I like to keep busy so I liked this about the job. The people you work with are really cool, and the meal discount is a nice perk.

Cons

Angry/complaining customers, management that tells you to work faster when you're already working the fastest that you can, eating a lot of unhealthy food.

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.
