Pros

a lot of fun people to work around along with decent pay and opportunities to expand your knowledge of resturant life.

Cons

Long work hours and a bonus struscture that is nearly impossible to achieve. Very hard work with little reward. Needs to work on upper management communication skills along with proper work ethics.

My Take

Pros

Store/GM Specific, however, leave an hour early if it's slow...coworkers usually scratch your back as long as you scratch theirs. Potential to Bonus every quarter.

Cons

Scheduling, alot of close/opens. close shifts prior to your weekend. Managament not on the same page...no consistensy. Not enough time in a shift to do administrative work, schedules, interviews, etc. Labor budget & staffing can be extremely challenging. I find the salary is off by a few thousand.
