Pros

Loved the people I worked with for the most part

Cons

Higher levels of management are sometimes hypocritical. Training is inconsistent, rushed, and sometimes nearly skipped, usually in my experience due to a lack of a schedule that makes sense. Often we are understaffed during busy hours and have too many people during slow hours. Our store is regularly out of one thing or another, whether it be cups, lids, portion cups, bowls, bowl lids, foil, and whatnot. The same person has stolen our salt shaker four times. No one has done anything about it. To top everything off, there are workers that like to stand and talk rather than work... but get this: sometimes the things they say are highly inappropriate in a work setting, yet nothing has ever been done. People are late all the time or don't show up to their shifts last minute and in my two and a half years of being here I've seen two, maybe three people have had serious consequences. Our general manager is constantly stressed, as are the service managers and kitchen managers. Listen, I'm not saying it's a bad job. I'm just saying that it's far from perfect and if you want a chill, low-stress job without people yelling at you, this is not the place.

Pros

Learning and growing to cultivate your own career path into a competent General Manager. The hours are longer than regular but the position is labeled as salary hourly with a minimum of 50 hours per week which guarantees 10 hours if overtime per week.

Cons

The long hours can be tiring and the expectations are less than or equivalent to that of a General Manager and depending who your boss is dependent on what you learn and how you can grow.
