Toxic management undermines a good pay structure

Restaurant general manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is very good for a restaurant GM

Cons

Area director would constantly lie about policy Area director would create separate dead lines from the rest of the company Area director would constantly undermine my authority as a GM in front of my staff The brand preaches love and respect but the Area director had access to my email and saw I sent a grievance letter to HR and she came in and fired me. Stay away. Seriously. Not worth the hostile work environment she will create.
