Pros

You get 30 minute paid breaks, that you're allowed to leave the building during, for every 5 hours worked. Free meals when you work, and 50% off when you're off. Being able to set high standards and only tolerate a team that will meet them. An amazing business model. CULTURE, CULTURE, CULTURE!! That's the best part.

Cons

You MUST be prepared to work, and work hard. Lots of hours, which is kind of a pro as well. The high standards are unforgiving and must be upheld to achieve restaurateur.

Pros

Learning and growing to cultivate your own career path into a competent General Manager. The hours are longer than regular but the position is labeled as salary hourly with a minimum of 50 hours per week which guarantees 10 hours if overtime per week.

Cons

The long hours can be tiring and the expectations are less than or equivalent to that of a General Manager and depending who your boss is dependent on what you learn and how you can grow.
