Pros

we work 50 hours a week and are encouraged to make time for family. its ok if you leave at 5:00 every now and then for family. allows you to run your restaurant like you own it. Nice bonus program Great Area Directors that treat you like a person, not a number. we make our budgets and are held accountable, but are allowed to move money from one account to another.

Cons

As the General Manager you control of your store. its only a bad place to work if you allow it to be.

Pros

Meeting great staff FOH and BOH

Cons

No monthly salary as discussed during orientation. Bonuses totaled around 700 for year 2024. I was basically an overpaid line cook. No exaggeration. Weekly inventory and truck orders was all there was to do for managers. The rest of the day consisted of being a prep as the open mgr(we literally didn’t have a prep), hosting, bagging orders, and being the best line could you could ever want to be. Get comfortable on broil!
