Pros

During my time at KFC, I rose from team member, to shift supervisor, and eventually restaurant general manager. Promotion from within is possible provided you work hard, have some brains, and can work well with others and remain patient. I really loved most of the people I worked with an will never forget them. There is a certain satisfaction that goes along with serving great food. Your regular customers will make your day.

Cons

The pay is horrible and the franchise I worked for offered small raised. The jump from an hourly supervisor to salaried manager was difficult because the hours you're expected to put in are a minimum of 50. Honestly, you'll probably work closer to 60 if you don't have a lot of supervisors to support you. Ultimately the work/life balance is why I decided to leave.
