Pros

KFC has a program for team members which can be their stepping stone to restaurant leaders someday.

Cons

There so much politics here (Restaurant Operations) and favoritism is very evident. You are expected to give good results but you are not getting the needed support. Higher management doesn't seem to care with the working environment of its people but they are asking you to perform in all aspects. Overwork and very much underpaid.
