Pros

Shift meal. That’s basically it….

Cons

Current gm is a total joke. No idea how he made it into management. Can’t make a schedule. And only knows how to lie and avoid doing anything remotely resembling work. Which in turn makes the employees resent him and also not want to work and also not want to stay. So far he has pushed out 30 employees in his short time there. Which has made it an absolute nightmare.. weekends are busy and don’t even have enough people to cover half of what’s needed to operate functionally. He will also tell employees to reliable old food as new, and a bunch of other bad practices that pot the customers at risk and is just bad leadership moves. How the higher ups haven’t removed him and the current field leader is astonishing.

Pros

Learning and growing to cultivate your own career path into a competent General Manager. The hours are longer than regular but the position is labeled as salary hourly with a minimum of 50 hours per week which guarantees 10 hours if overtime per week.

Cons

The long hours can be tiring and the expectations are less than or equivalent to that of a General Manager and depending who your boss is dependent on what you learn and how you can grow.
