Pros

No high expectations, as in not results driven, if you are a slacker and yes-person you can wing it for life

Cons

Management revolving door - there is a new person every week with a new slogan on reviving sagging sales, becomes the mantra until another one walks in. Every year new slogan with no strategy on achieving objectives Lifers / sclerotic bureaucracy A soft structure with no accountability Cost-cutting and franchisees drive management Always chasing after Panera and McDonald’s (the enemy). No hard values just slogans - made up before each annual convention

Pros

Very flexible scheduling, especially if your manager is willing to work around all their employees. You usually get a 50% discount that you can use once a day too.

Cons

Direct district management at this location does not know how to manage people. He will not really do anything to help or assist until his supervisors look into his stores and what he does. He will shift blame onto any general manager he can, and if any district manager decides you are doing your job incorrectly or you need to adjust what you are doing, there will be little to no support in helping you become a better employee. It really can become a "popularity contest" when you work in store management. If you are a regular employee or shift lead, you won't really have any direct contact with district management.
