Pros

It can be an excellent place to work. On the individual restaurant level a lot depends upon which one you are working in. An older facility in a rough neighborhood can be very tough to do as opposed to a new location in suburbia and this is never taken into consideration. Results at all costs no matter what. Everything depends upon you immediate supervisor or their boss. If they don't like you you will have a very rough time even if you get great results

Cons

Very long hours at times in a very stressful environment. Little concern from upper management about your quality of life. Just talk with empty words. "We care about people"etc. Once again if your direct boss is incompetent or lacks people skills you will have a rough life.

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.
