Pros

There is opportunity to move up, and they actually appear to be expanding whilst other companies are cutting back. However, the expansion has created the need to fill positions, and while they grill you at interviews (after you spend weeks trying to get one) they all seem to be disorganized and mildly incompetent. No one seems to know what is going on, or who is accountable for what.

Cons

They expect you to be available 24/7 with little to no notice, but they would never grant you any kind of leeway or favors on short or even substantial notice. You are expected to give yourself completely to a company that treats you like any other employee, regardless of your performance or commitment.

Pros

Some good employees at the Store lvl

Cons

Everything else. Corporate violates HR laws daily. HR sweeps all under rug. You will regret working for this company. Pay is terrible, McDonald's pays more..... Required 50 a week for GMs. More like 60. You have been warned
