Pros
Decent bonus structure - can make great money at busy stores. Also have yearly bonuses available based on tenure and restaurant performance. Benefits available. Flexible scheduling. Freedom within boundaries in regards to running/staffing your store. Owner cares about employees; tries to understand each person's situation is different.
Cons
Hard to make a lot of money at lower volume stores - monthly bonuses are built around profit sharing. Lower profit margin = lower bonus. Unavoidable costs can hurt bonus. (Examples: Equipment repairs.) Constant ability to communicate with store is necessary. You may need to go in at any point. Long days & 6 day work week - plan to work 60 hours and a few open-close shifts each week. Vacation can hurt profit sharing bonus due to higher labor costs. Doing well in a small store can pigeon hole you into lower yearly income - why move someone to a more profitable location if he/she is doing a good job at a lower volume one? Profit sharing bonus makes a BIG difference in yearly pay.
