Pros

1. Big name on your resume 2. You will work with very experienced and knowledgeable senior managers 3. You will become a "Jack-of-all-trades" very quickly if you strive 4. Unlimited PTO especially if your manager likes you and allows you to take off and work a flexible schedule 5. You will form good relationships with a lot of restaurant owners

Cons

1. Unrealistic people structure in the operations department. Too many responsibilities are expected from one person. Always on-call. People take pride in being overworked. It is a team culture that will not ever change until the very high-level leadership changes its mind about how to build the right team structure for the service that was promised to the tenant 2. All Operations Managers are severely underpaid for the scope of work and responsibilities they take compared to similar roles at other companies, even though there is no other company that even asks for that much work from one person. 3. "Take ownership" and "Always Hustln" are being used as an excuse to save labor costs so they don't have to hire professional teams. You have to repair dry walls, fix HVAC, clean filters, powerwash, climb on the roof, so and so everyday. Also act as the marketing manager to tell kitchens how to profit when you don't even have the background to do that and sometimes be the IT support guy to try to fix the menu and figure out software problems on your own. All locations are far from each other so they don't hire anyone to work with you in person. You have some corporate people whose 9-5 pm only while they expect you to answer the kitchens 24/7 to keep them happy. 4. Collecting invoices is a part of the job too. Be ready to lose your mental health over this job since you are the face of the company getting all the blames for everything.

Pros

I wish I believed the reviews before I joined- please read if you are thinking of going into sales. - I am sitting here trying to think of ONE - I liked my co- workers - Office is nice and has a gym with views - They pay for parking

Cons

- Zero ramp period, even though I was told there was one - No room to negotiate on a highly offensive base pay in LA in 2026 - Everyone is scared they will be put on a pip, not a positive sales environment - Leadership and management is a total mess. - Churn and burn culture - Pushing a product that did not morally feel good about in the current climate, most of our prospects are barely surviving off of their current B and M (tough sale with ICE and lots of biz failing) - the pay structure makes zero sense, if you want to make money, literally work anywhere else unless you plan on being here for 5+ years. - In person office everyday, M-F, 9-5 and for what? To cold call in a tiny booth all day long, not flexible to WFH - red flag your Case Study in the interview process is basically prep for a PIP????
