Pros
As a former restaurant executive, I have learned an incredible amount about retailing. The data available to analyze is simply amazing. Retailers can learn a lot working here.
Cons
Impossible to hit expectations if you work less than 70-80 hours per week. My day starts at 5:30am and often ends at 10pm or later. Company strategy changes weekly. This role requires interaction weekly with franchisees where we are to "influence" franchisees to align with company strategies (which change weekly) that typically do not benefit the franchisee. We are supposed to consult our franchisees but we really just beat them into submission. No wonder about half of our franchisees hate us. Hostile environment.
