Poor pay and even poorer leadership

Pros

free food. At one point the employees were rewarded for secret shops. which made up for the fact that the company pays minimum wage.

Cons

once they got rid of the secret shops morale has also taken a hit. turnover has increased. Your not paying your employees enough to afford your product.

Awesome job, not good pay.

Business Outlook

Pros

Amazing atmosphere, and easy concepts. Super easy to grasp and learn. Management is good, and everyone loves coming to work.

Cons

My franchise pays poorly. The owners fail to pay the crew or management enough, which in turn causes high turnover and you struggle. We pay probably less than every Five Guys.

Pros

Excellent productivity in the hiring process. Managers kept calling me to make sure that I had all the right attire to come into work for my first day.

Cons

So far, I haven't seen many challenges. But I also, haven't seen my first day in the kitchen yet. So my ideas will change with time I'm assuming.
