      Pros

      Flexible Schedule School comes first, including college Insurance decent for managers Easy to advance up the career ladder Wonderful and in-depth "corporate" training program College credit available for training

      Cons

      Can be very tiresome and unrewarding work Customers treat employees as if they are machines, not humans Poor store management will cause a poor working environment Corporate is not hard enough on the franchises and does not check-in enough Conditions of stores can become very poor under money hungry franchise owners who are reluctant to fix things like the a/c or doors..

      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.
