Pros

- Medical - Vision supplement plan - Dental - Flexible spending accounts - Short and long term disability - Employee and dependent life insurance - Accidental death & dismemberment (AD&D) - Travel and business travel accident insurance

Cons

Classical lose-lose situation: If you work hard and give 100% to the company, you will most likely lose your job to a teenager who will work for much less. No room to grow career wise so its basically a dead-end job so to speak. Enough power to abuse employees because they work for cheap and has no other alternatives. No consideration for the extra task(s) that is done. The constant overshadowing of upper management.

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.
