Pros

Had nice co-workers Good starter Job Depends on your store they will work with your schedule Once you get used to the first 3 months the job is actually pretty easy and depending on your location and the time you work, the job is actually not that stressful and chill but this is not always the case (Specifically evening to night shifts or overnights are the most calm however it is usually busy all the time) Mornings are hectic especially when transitioning to Mornings breakfast to afternoon

Cons

Management Favoritism (not all managers and stores are like this and the ones I worked with were very nice and funny but I noticed some managers favorited others more than other people and had let them get away with more versus if a different employee had done the same action they would get punished or a write up) Rushed training threw you in and your expected to know everything Very stressful Not treated well if you are new Always was understaff so it was even more stressful as you would have to perform 2 duties at once and if you cant perform them you would get yelled at ( not all stores are like this) If you work in the kitchen you will always smell like food when you get home

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.
