Pros

It was a great opportunity to work at while still in high school. Though it wasn't perhaps the best job out there, I think it really taught me a lot about working hard and added to my leadership skills. I also enjoyed to flexibility. At any given time (perhaps it helped that I was a very good worker) I could work at many hours as I wanted (40) or as little as I wanted (take the week off for whatever reason). I also had a choice on when I wanted to work on the weekend and in the summers (mornings, days or nights).

Cons

Just some of the people you worked with. You can work with some really weird staff people. For the most part management was alright, however, some can also be a bit abnormal.

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.
