Pros

Overall its extremely easy to get hired, but that is because they have such a high turn over rate. At first it seems like it may not be to bad... but you realize real quickly why you got hired so easily!

Cons

The management has no respect for the employees. It is known to everyone that you can be replaced very easily. For being a company that serves food it is pretty unsanitary. Alot of the employees use drugs and alcohol, some of which even do so on the job.

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.
