Pros

If you need the moeny, it is better than selling your body. I needed things and this seemeds to be the only way that I could earn money as a teeneager in a small town. Lets face if, there isn't a whole lot of opportunity there. I was 16 when I worked here and it was literally the worst job I have ever had. The managers had no respect for the employees b/c they had no respect for themselves. It all comes down to this, adults should not be working at this place.

Cons

Greasy skin, bad pay, terrible bosses, moronic peers, no benifets.

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.
