Pros

Pay was decent, The Restaurant was clean.

Cons

No Work Life Balance. The Franchise Group I worked for expected you to work until. your time wasn't important. The Manager Managed by Intimidation every other word to employee;s was :you will be fired " "I will fire you" "I haven't Fired any one lately" " Do you want to get fired" Very Negative Environment. Yelling and Screaming at employee's was common place. The Manager that doesn't subscribe to this antiquated view of people management is seen as weak. all of the above of course will be denied but trust me this is a real world first hand view. Worst mistake I every made working for this company. You will get the real picture after you come out of training. Training well it's not as good as they believe it is there are programs that head and shoulder above what they offer.

Pros

Bonuses and wage raises are given if your work performance is excellent. Promotions to management are available to those that have been cross trained in every aspect of the restaurant. Flexible scheduling for those needing school or religious exceptions.

Cons

Lack of quality leadership traits in management. No professional boundaries. Communication issues are a big issue as well as etiquette.(Rude aberrant behavior on the part of some managers even the GM) Tips are taken out of your pay check.
