Pros

Closed on Sundays. Company without long-term debt. A company with HIGH moral values and a GREAT reputation in the community and the industry. Interim Managers are given full health benefits and almost all expenses are paid. Operators and Home Office Staff are genuinely nice people. Good team members are a little easier to find because we have less turnover than the industry.

Cons

LONG hours. You are working for the opportunity to own/operate your own location. Can and will be sent anywhere on NO notice whatsoever. Lack of feedback from the Business Consultants who serve as your boss. Lack of feedback from the people in HR who are selecting Operators. Lots of talking in circles with no clear answers or directions. No definition of what a "good job" looks like or what our primary and secondary objectives are. Possibility (reality for some) of being on the road literally months on end without getting to travel home.

Pros

Usually meet some pretty friendly people Free food for breaks (at some locations), and our location sometimes offered even more rewards for hitting a specific goal for cars in drive-thru during peak hours. Made for some fun competition

Cons

Often running shift without enough employees. Especially after COVID, a lot of companies really learned how minimally they can staff and still make money. Call outs are constantly an issue, and it's hard to find coverage from others. Rules constantly changing, and inconsistently enforced.
