Long hours, decent pay

Assistant manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Great bonus program, it rewards hard work and good leadership within the store. High standards on cleanliness and a very stable system as far as keeping the restaurant running in a "perfect" manner.

Cons

Incredibly long hours, it doesn't give you much time to pursue personal goals. High burnout rate, the only people who've worked at the company over 5 years are the owner and the Director of Operations. Bonuses are generally on the low end unless you've got a high performing store like the Manhattan one. Once you achieve GM status, your likelihood of getting promoted is incredibly low unless you have a personal connection to Brane. The company sometimes sets unreasonable goals in order to make it near impossible to achieve your bonus.

Pros

Great work environment, pretty fast paced during rushes though, so it keeps you on your toes. I have great co-workers and management is easy-going.

Cons

There are a few dumb rules that don't seem to make much sense, as they tend to slow the process down, but since I work at a corporate store, everything is done by the book.

Pros

Very flexible work environment and it was not a bad job to have. But after High School, I did want to leave.

Cons

Sometimes it was hard to get motivated to make sandwiches for five hours. Sometimes the managers were not the most fun to work with.
