Pros

-- The atmosphere is pleasant to be in, it is not a typical fast food style establishment. -- Every employee gets a Development Journal. Containing; - Checklist's for each stage of the employee's progression. - Weekly entry section to be filled out during 1 on 1 talks with their Manager. - Note's section for writing down technical instructions (computer tasks, inventory tips, ect.) -- Paid breaks, every lunch break includes free meal. -- Quick promotions*

Cons

** Horrible turnover rate - 80%+ of employee's are employed less than 6 months. ** - Poor training. Assume that you will be training yourself on specific details. - After first few weeks, expect inconsistant hours. - Very positive interactions between new hires and managment for first week or so. It is just a front. - Tolerates immaturity, gossip, and disparagement.

Pros

Learning and growing to cultivate your own career path into a competent General Manager. The hours are longer than regular but the position is labeled as salary hourly with a minimum of 50 hours per week which guarantees 10 hours if overtime per week.

Cons

The long hours can be tiring and the expectations are less than or equivalent to that of a General Manager and depending who your boss is dependent on what you learn and how you can grow.
