Pros

ability to transfer to other locations

Cons

most managers and upper management is hired from outside the company and not promoted from within. yes there are a handful of people that have been able to work their way up but they are far and few between. you can work up to store manager but jumping up to district manager or higher is nearly impossible.

Pros

Some good employees at the Store lvl

Cons

Everything else. Corporate violates HR laws daily. HR sweeps all under rug. You will regret working for this company. Pay is terrible, McDonald's pays more..... Required 50 a week for GMs. More like 60. You have been warned
