      General Manager in Training

      Restaurant manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fast Tracks your career by allowing you to get hands on experience running an entire operation. Hard work pays off and willingness to relocate moves you up the job chain even faster.

      Cons

      In some cases becoming a GM means relocating is required. Long shifts 10-15 hours but these "cons" are almost seen in every restaurant chain.

      Pros

      -Job stability: Panda is a monopoly in its segment -Free gym and sometimes food at corporate office -Sometimes free classes -Medical benefits, 401K, profit sharing after certain levels (vested over 5 years), 13 days vacation -Flexible schedule -Diversity in the employees

      Cons

      -Excessively heavy workload - flexible schedule doesn't really matter when you're doing 2 or 3 people's job -Below market compensation = lower quality coworkers -Long time managers and directors are unqualified for their jobs and wouldn't be hired today -Cult like culture pressuring Landmark classes and formerly Life Academy - ($400-2000/class out of your own pocket) -No matter how they dress it up, it's fast food.
