Pros

positive work environment when dealing with customers

Cons

When I went into training to become a manager with Taco Bell, it was like the DM and the GM were going head to head over whether or not I should have been applicable for the position. The DM, being the one that hired me, obviously thought I was bright enough and experienced enough for the job, and the GM wanted to promote up a member of her existing crew instead. My training was ultimately what was sacrificed, the GM set me up for failure and made me look bad intentionally. She would intentionally not teach me things intentionally to make it look like the only good option was to promote internally instead of hire externally. I had 3 years experience as an Assistant Manager, so being a shift leader would have been no big deal if they had taught me right.
