Pros

You get to meet wonderful coworkers. Get to eat something from the menu at the lunch break. Have a 35 minute break. They allowed me to take something after closing the store, like a large soda or leftover burgers. They let you have a small drink to quench your thirst. They didn’t usually scold anyone that didn’t need to be. Managers most of the time are friendly.

Cons

Lunch breaks are not payed. To receive a raise you must work there for at least 6 months, or talk it out with your main manager. They usually did not let you have extra hours, you must clock out as it is assigned in your schedule. You must make sure to clean everything, as it should be for every workplace, but it does take a considerable amount of time. Sometimes there is a burden of orders and the personal might not be enough to handle it. You must put the effort of having good communication with your co workers to make things easier when in a rush, which would be when there is a line of people and cars ready to order.

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.
