Pros

Good high energy crew members. Development journals to give crew members the road map.

Cons

Grill 1 and 2 should be paid a higher wage than crew positions considering that the work is a lot more difficult and physical and demanding. Once you get really good at a crew position, you will not be moved to another position. The ability of rising within the ranks seems fictional, more like favoritism. Everyone speaks spanish all day even though this is an American corporation, makes the non spanish speaking crew members feel alienated. Not enough hours given to crew members. People are sent home if its slow, even if they were scheduled to work longer hours. No access to management above the GM of the store.

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.
