Pros

The team culture is incredibly supportive and collaborative, which makes solving complex infrastructure challenges much easier. I truly value the opportunities to work on high-level system reliability projects and the access to advanced professional development resources. The company genuinely prioritizes work-life balance for its engineering staff.

Cons

The internal documentation for some legacy systems can be outdated or inconsistent, which occasionally slows down troubleshooting efforts.

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.
