Pros

Not many pros. I enjoyed working with my team and my group of peers. The benefits kicked in very quickly- the first Monday of the month after I was hired.

Cons

The DM was terrible- always unreachable. Threatened GM's jobs on conference calls and during store meetings. Very morale killing. The systems are old school. There is way too much paperwork. The support center must be outsourced to India, because no one who answers the phone speaks English very well. The training is a joke. A 50 hour work week is mandated, but you are lucky if you work anything under 60. If you can get a job somewhere else- take it because you will regret taking this one!!

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
