Pros

They usually hired from within. I was only 22 and was promoted to a salaried manager position. I was the youngest manager in a 30 store franchise. I enjoyed the fast-paced atmosphere. I loved my job.

Cons

A 32,000 a year salary working 60 hours a week was excruciating. If another manager did not show up for work, I was expected to cover their shift. It was a lot of work or little pay.

Pros

Short drive, Half off food, Will work with you with your schedule.

Cons

GM unprofessional. Not appreciated for your experience and what u can bring to the table. Tips were poor. Poor customer base. Antiquated POS. No patience to train properly. Are bullies. Heating and AC do not work properly. Extreme favoritism. Do not recommend. Oh and if you didn't make your sales quota, u were told you would lose hours. If a table walked out without paying, they made u pay the difference. Callous, unprofessional, employees came last. Sales is all that matters.
