Pros

-Experience in a variety of different business oriented tasks from hospitality to costs of goods -fast paced growth with opportunities to develop your career. Easy to move up the ladder. - fantastic to get your name out in your community. The people you’ll meet is never ending. - competitive environment with small incentives for encouragement - opportunity to engage in the overall happiness of the guests and people around you. - opportunity to learn how to develop those around and under you - trains you to learn systems and operations that increase the stats of a business.

Cons

- your job environment and overall satisfaction is solely based on how your district manager runs their district, how they go about certain things and what systems they have in place. - The job is really not made for those with families or other outside obligations unless you are a lower level staff member. You must be here during business hours which only range through the entire day. So if you work, you’re gunna be gone until the sun goes down. - vacation time again is solely based on your DM’s approval and is unlikely to be approved during prime vacation time like “spring break” when most families have the ability to travel. - The competitive environment is never ending and your results if not up to par can reduce your overall job satisfaction via your DM’s course of action - Your days off can often consist of “work stuff” - Continuous stress - Never have weekends off
