Pros

Free food, bonuses as a manager

Cons

Way over worked, franchise owners did not help when I desperately needed them, I once worked 21 days in a row at least 10 hour days. I often worked open to close and open the next morning which was a 16+ hour shift, then open the next day. Owner required at least 50 hours for my sad salary. At the end of five years, with bonuses I was making $35k.

Pros

Very flexible scheduling, especially if your manager is willing to work around all their employees. You usually get a 50% discount that you can use once a day too.

Cons

Direct district management at this location does not know how to manage people. He will not really do anything to help or assist until his supervisors look into his stores and what he does. He will shift blame onto any general manager he can, and if any district manager decides you are doing your job incorrectly or you need to adjust what you are doing, there will be little to no support in helping you become a better employee. It really can become a "popularity contest" when you work in store management. If you are a regular employee or shift lead, you won't really have any direct contact with district management.
