Pros

Operational hours, able to be creative, able to have have ownership of my operation, hearing, "wow, that food was terrific" having a team member tell you are the best boss ever, making the client happy

Cons

Corporate, RVP & DMs mandate more programs than possible to do. It's a fulltime job just to do the programs, tracking, logging, marketing. You leave everyday a winner with the customers, food, safety and service, but a failure in the flood of programs that the executives think of while sitting at their desk. It is like russian roulette when you are visited by upper management. What one of the 50 programs are they going to check on? In addition. Being threatened daily by your DM. Our DM is the most horrible person I have ever met on all levels. Only followed by our RVP who is crazy and hired her. Those who have spoken have been termminated. I try to do everything that we are supposed to do. After 15 hours, I find myself unable to think. I catch up every weekend only to find I cannot complete even a small portion. I work every weekend just to be slightly complient with the programs
