Pros
The salary range on the Doc B’s job posts will catch your eye and they are real. The pay is above industry average and with a high turnover rate you can expect to move up the ranks as a salaried manager quickly.
Cons
While the pay is above average so are the hours, stress, and amount of eggshells you will walk on as you constantly communicate with the owner. You will quickly learn your job is less about running a restaurant and mostly about appeasing him; in his own words he is “the only one guaranteed to have a job tomorrow” and he “is God within the four walls”. Being stretched thin is something most new managers begin to feel during their training process as under staffed stores are forced to use MIT’s as release valves. This only increases as you move up the ranks. GM’s and even KM’s are pressured to work 6 days a week as the revolving door of managerial support and Shift leaders either resign or is are moved to another location at a moments notice. For example upon my promotion to GM my previous role of KM was intentionally not filled for 8 months only to be hung over my head once it was. Worst of all should when you’re ready for a change you will not be allowed to work out your notice, you will NOT be paid for your notice and of course (even though it will be dangled like a carrot) no severance package.
