      Pros

      They have really great benefits/pay, the people are really great, and upper management cares about your personal development.

      Cons

      This job can be challenging, especially for management. You have to have really strong attention to detail, willingness to take feedback and apply it, and an avid people person. This isn’t a con though if you can keep a positive outlook.

      High Standards and Hard Work

      Pros

      The company promotes from within. If you can get to the ACO level (district manager), so can see significant salary growth, company car, stock options, etc. Some managers achieve bonuses that exceed their base salary (20% of same store growth quarterly)

      Cons

      Restaurant Management means long hours during social time and sometimes on “off days”. Salary means no extra pay for it. You are not allowed to take two consecutive days off in a work week (you take one day off mid week, and one on the weekend). You can get a performance write up on the last day of a quarter from your district manager that costs you your entire bonus.

      Pros

      Excellent Insurance, that's about it.

      Cons

      Management is strict because the ACO is strict. Not a very employee friendly atmosphere.
