EZ to move up in store. Hard to become Above Store Leader.

Business Outlook

Pros

I moved up through the ranks in the store very very quickly and became an RGM when some kids are still in High School. I was very happy about that. Salary is ok when you work for a corporate run store but really bad for most Franchise run stores. Its ridiculous when you run a Million dollar plus business and make 32k a year.

Cons

I have worked at Taco Bell for nearly 10 years and I hear all the time about how its possible to move up into a Corporate job. However, it rarely happens. They continue to hire people in above store and restaurant support positions whom have NEVER worked a day in there lives inside ANY restaurant. They went to college, graduated and get a pretty dang good job. While people can put in 20 years and never get there. Oh, by the way I worked 50 hours a week while going to school to get my degree and I'm still stuck in a store. BS, I just can't bring myself to kiss ass and play politics.

Pros

-Benefits are ok. -You get something to put on a resume. -Pay is what you would expect. -Your experience will really depend on management style at your particular location.

Cons

I have worked here for several years now. When I started, it was great! We had an awesome manager and team. We hit all of our goals and were shown appreciation. A couple of years back our RGM left the company. The new RGM is very rude and shows no appreciation for any of the work you do. I have not received a "fair" raise in years. I now hate my job. I have to fight with management to get a day off. I have complained to HR about these things, and also some problems that could be considered sexual harassment. No one seems to care. I am looking for a new job now.
