Pros

The work is easy enough, some of the customers can be pleasant. Free drinks.

Cons

Management treats you bad. if you do a horrible job you'll know about it. If you do a good job you'll never hear about it. There are rush times that can make the work go faster, but can be stressful when your managers are yelling at you. Customers have the potential to be awesome, but most of them will treat you with no respect.

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.
