Pros

They will promote anybody. It's the Peter Principle in operation. Managers tend to be young, poorly educated, willing to work long hours.

Cons

Anybody, any warm body, can get promoted. Since store managers have no authority over the other managers, they quickly figure out they can do anything they want to. Then you, as the GM, are stuck calling your District Manager to discipline your underlings.

Pros

-They give you free food up to $30 -The benefits are fairly decent -High mileage pay for traveling -Lots of diversity and inclusion

Cons

-The worst upper management you’ll ever work for. Constant micromanaging. Sets unrealistic expectations with zero support or assistance. All while they take long vacations. -Preach “company standard” but flip flop on every decision with no notice -Constant labor crunch. Expects miracles with ~3 people on shift. -Will have to work out of your area with no added pay -Training is hit or miss. If you don’t speak up immediately about something you weren’t taught, they will blame you. -If salaried, will probably have to work over 40hrs will no additional incentive -Customers above all else. They are rewarded for complaints and you will definitely be punished. -Heavy AI usage. Even in biased customer surveys that will count against you.
