Pros

The vacation time is good. After five years, you get five weeks off a year and then you get six at ten years plus a 8 week sabbbatical. This is for corporate only stores.

Cons

Sometimes certain locations can be much worse to work at then others depending on the demographics of the restaurant. The crew and also be frustrating to manage because of their low pay.

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.
