Pros

Good atmosphere with a product customers really love. Great food and more or less a "fun" job at times.

Cons

Lack of benefits, constant understaffing and supply shortage, and absence of well-structured management team (applies to individual store). High level of stress.

Pros

The company is well managed, with frequent "fire reports" to ensure that everything is up to par, and also general managers deal directly with their entire crews.

Cons

The pay or motivation just wasn't there. Expected employees to be on pace with say "In N' Out", but they wanted them to do so for minimum wage with no real hope of raises or promotions (besides the occassional shift leader promotion)

Pros

Good food. At first seemed to be a good job, worked as a assistant manager at epicenter location....restaurant had just opened and staff was eager to work. Quickly saw through the smoke screen and realized what I had walked into.

Cons

Poor franchise selection, owner put into chapter 11. Left in store as only management. Worked7:30am-11pm mon-sun for 6 months.fired when no longer could handle workload and lack of home life.
