Pros

Management Cycle is rewarding (if you can survive) Benefits (low costs on the anti-anxiety medications you'll be needing) Tuition reimbursement (nothing like having a 4 year degree and babysitting employees who can't spell cashier.. #truestory)

Cons

You are always on call, whether you are part time or the GM. Because the company is fast paced 24/7 nothing you do will ever satisfy the shift relieving you. Servant leadership is inspiring to low level employees, but frustrating to management because higher M-levels get paid 40k+ more to do the same job, but are less accountable. Even though pay is "competitive" almost all employees (including IMM & FFM need some type of financial assistance from the government. Living alone and making management hourly is rough, I can't imagine the stress my employees have making ends meet.

Pros

Education reimbursement, the coffee is great.

Cons

Be prepared to turn your work mobile phone and leave it on. Even during vacation. Management is treated like a farm animal. The employees have complaints that are real but management has to sell the "be positive" when its all nothing but negative. Wawa drains your life.

Pros

Feel ownership for the brand. Above market pay. Private company environment.

Cons

Too much politics in the corporate office. Culture can make things personal.
