Pros

Pay was great, free chipotle was always a plus, the hours were consistent, paid sick days even if you were only part time, and everyone was always nice there

Cons

SEVERELY PHYSICALLY DEMANDING. Chopping up veggies 8 hours a day while trying to keep up with the pace of each of my deadlines gave me carpal tunnel for a year and half. I couldn't grip on anything anymore with my right hand. I would wake up everyday with swollen fingers, they couldn't move properly and instead the bones would just click. By the end, the doctor demanded I quit before it got even worse.

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.
