Pros

-An amazing and kind boss that gave me the most flexible hours I could have asked for -At least someone on your shift knew what to do in any given situation -Pretty chill atmosphere once you stopped having to learn how to do everything -Being nice to customers stops them from being angry, and I was pretty nice

Cons

-Working from Feb 2022 -> Feb 2023 there was constant chronic staffing issues -Your coworkers are not the most perfect upstanding citizens -Very managerial-based operations; a good department head quitting has a massive effect on workplace efficiency and satisfaction -A ton of stuff to learn and not being good with people got you mopping and doing the dishes

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.
