Pros

flexible working hours and dependable monthly income. I worked there whilst going to College and found the job ok. Considering it was my first REAL job. Good place to learn basic skills and get your career off the ground whatever direction you go in. The employees are very down to earth and mostly students or mums.

Cons

Dealing with the public and being on the frontline. Sometimes there would be arguments by customers and fights in the restaurant which was not pleasant to watch.

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.
