Pros

As a poor college student this place does give you the opportunity to make some pocket money. Although customers may not be the best all the time, its simply a job and thats it. Nothing to write home about and no glory unless you really dig doing customer service.

Cons

Well customers as thats what its all about. There are a good number of decent customers, they know what they want, pay for it, and on their way they go. Than there are those that want you to sell yourself to them like they own you.

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.
