Pros

Only "pro" I can think of is free food, ONLY if you work a 6 hour shift or more. Which hardly happens.

Cons

Terrible scheduling- told them I had a commitment at 8:30 they would schedule me until 8 but wouldn't let me leave until there were no customers, everything was stocked, and everything was perfect. The pressure to maintain the "culture" and keep the line clean is insane. Employees I worked with who had been there a long time got fired for not "promoting the culture". AKA, they got fired for no reason. It's incredibly stressful with little breaks. Do NOT recommend.

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.
