Pros

we work 50 hours a week and are encouraged to make time for family. its ok if you leave at 5:00 every now and then for family. allows you to run your restaurant like you own it. Nice bonus program Great Area Directors that treat you like a person, not a number. we make our budgets and are held accountable, but are allowed to move money from one account to another.

Cons

As the General Manager you control of your store. its only a bad place to work if you allow it to be.
