General Manager

Pros

Lots of opportunities for quick growth into the position for the right person. I had a great boss who was encouraging, helpful, hardworking, and really set the bar high. Compensation was good and there were multiple levels of incentive based pay (bonuses) that were anywhere from normal to almost impossible to hit.

Cons

Not much of a life outside of work which should hardly be a surprise for anyone who has been a general manager before. Your experience with the company really depends on who's above you- some are great to work for and others aren't. Super-competitive environment can be a good thing or it can lead to this position consuming your life.

Pros

Love the environment. Love my crew. The hours were good.

Cons

To move up in this company you have to really brow nose. I worked so hard for four years and only made a shift leader position. I worked harder than anyone in that place and recived high marks but only made 14 an hour. I did bread orders, cleaned like no other, had great shop records, trained the the new hires, trained the new managers in training, had the best customer service. I even switched stores frequently to help other stores out. Did everything I could to help this company and was promised higher positions so many times but they always gave it away to someone else.
