Pros

I have always loved restaurant management, but couldn't find the right fit for me...this year I joined McAlister's and that changed. The franchise I work for, The Saxton Group, is very involved in the community and supporting our local schools and organizations. That in turn has earned us a lot of respect from our city, and I feel proud to be part of this team. It's challenging, fast-paced, and fun. McAlister's treats it's employees with a great deal of respect, and that in turn makes happy workers. It's so much easier to provide amazing customer service when your team is happy to be at work.

Cons

There is always so much to do that you need to be really great at multi-tasking or something will be forgotten. I use post-its....A LOT...to make sure I get everything done. You have to come into work with a plan every day. If you aren't organized, this isn't for you.

Pros

i worked with nice people, people who worked harder got more hours and people would chip in and help eachother (i worked in the back but i helped up front during rush hour sometimes, and sometimes my coworkers would come help me) and i got a free meal for working a full shift

Cons

the night shift doesnt have a lot of people, and big rushes can happen.
