Pros

Its easy to get in. They train you. I just needed money for school. The job is only as good as the manager. The manager was OK, which was good. He didn't yell alot. I been in other jobs where the manager yells. The food is really OK. I eat it anyway.

Cons

The air is really greasy in the back. I had to wash my hair so much it got frizzy. I don't think you can avoid that. The customers. Some of them were really rude. You don't get tips there. The pay is low and it would be nice to have tips.

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.
