Pros

Bonuses are great, there’s opportunities to work more hours because you can work at different stores, and for the most part it is a positive and fun environment

Cons

Everything is a team effort so bonuses are based on how the whole crew performed, most locations do not have enough managers, and there’s a lot of heavy lifting.

Pros

Bonus, obtained restaurant food safety knowledge, certifications, annual reviews, & developed new networking connections.

Cons

Very political company on every level. Got little to no family time outside of work. Policies are always changing and too many inspections. Secret shopper program is always a struggle and they make you feel like your a bad manager when you don't get good averages. They always openly say you can be replaced. Worked for both franchise and corporate gave away almost 10 years of my time and was openly passionate about my job. After 10 years the Area manager fired me and did it with ease. I sacrificed so much for this company and got little appreciation in return. They move you from location to location regardless of your opinion. However if you ask to go to a location of interest they don't really give you the opportunity. When the GM tries to get get time off it's always a struggle getting it approved.
