      Pros

      Guaranteed hours, great for entry level management experience, leadership experience, benefits, paid vacation, teaches you how to work hard, etc...

      Cons

      Pay is not what it should be for what you have to deal with or do, it is up to the GM's discretion on when you can be fully certified and finally increase pay (which is still not what it should be), lots of highschool kids work and bring drama (you're kind've a baby sitter), management is hard to convince to make changes, and you have to deal with lots of hostility when your employees make a simple mistake.

      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.
