Pros

I absolutely love the people I work with and for. The franchise that I work for is filled with amazing people who actually care and do their best to take an active role in their employees lives.

Cons

Seems every store in our district is severely understaffed, my best educated guess for why would be #1 pay- we hire in employees at a much lower rate than many fast food restaurants around us, being there 2 years and being a GM, I am salary. I am required to work 50 hours a week but most often end up working 60-70. Being salary, I am paid for 40 hours a week no matter what, anything over that and I am working for free. The #2 reason would be improper training. Always being short staffed means when a new employee starts, they are rushed through the training process and are usually thrown to the wolves way too soon. Most people find this extremely stressful and end up leaving within the first week or two.
