Pros

Good pay. Weekly food allowance for managers. Nice coworkers.

Cons

There is no work life balance. As a manager, you work 10 - 13 hour days, 50 - 60 hour work weeks. You will receive a little to no recognition or appreciation no matter how hard you work. As a new location, many of the senior managers come from different locations which at times can be helpful to have different perspectives, but from my experience, it made training and managing very inconsistent. Because this is a high stress environment many people can be unprofessional and let emotions take over when speaking. Some of the conversations managers would have behind closed doors about our other team members was disrespectful. Dealing with drunk customers can also be difficult on some days. Leaving this job was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
