Pros

Good pay if you manage your sales to target and labor. Can be a great opportunity once you build and train your team. Fun and fast paced.

Cons

Don't have any personal problems and take fmla. They will pluck you from your thriving store and stick you in lowest volume and throw away store . Then say "legally have to hold your position not your location" win gold standard award prior month,hit sales to target, become 2nd highest grossing store in district? Pfft. That was last week and you took time under a structured plan to take care of your family. Shame on you. Go take the store that has been destroyed by multiple managers and cannibalised for new store opening. I would have stayed 10 more years if not for that low and dirty move. That is just a month tho. Take 6 months and be dm favorite you are right as rain to go back to your same store. Oh well. Gave me great experience and next notch for resume. Took about 6 days to find better job. So thank you for motivating me to look else where.

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
