Pros

Conveniece and a good work experience. Usually, there are several people working whom you can talk to during slow periods or breaks, which can make work a lot less depressing. Because you do so many different things, finding a second job after his one is a much easier feat.

Cons

Overworked compared to other kinds of food retailers. Since it's a fast food restaurant, everything is fast paced and leaves very little time for any type of leisure - many managers will yell at you for not working even for a moment.

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.
