Pros
Worked at multiple locations, same experiences at each one just a different building. No full-time hours or you get in trouble. Regular store crew members are cool people tho. Gained 2 yrs of management experience for my resume. Learned I’m worth truck loads of cash compared to the treatment and work.
Cons
Upper management; agm, gm, regional, including district managers, will encourage store managers to lie to customers and employees regularly. If you want to be promoted from team member the agm/gm will tell you what you want to hear and string u along svrl months at a time if ure an ethical hard worker just to keep you around since the regular crew members half-a*s their jobs. They expect u to run an understaffed team at minimal pay, all the while getting customer complaints that there aren’t enough team members to fulfill the orders w/in a timely manor, while the gm sits in the back on his phone catching up on the sports game or watching anime, but the store manager in charge is to blame for everything that goes wrong. This company has 0 accountability. As a store manager I was expected to pick up the heavy slack of the team members at below living wages for the amount of work that was expected. Consistently complained at for not running the entire store without even being given the resources or tools to do so. This is coming from someone that has worked in the restaurant industry for 16 years. When hired on they give you this starry-eyed idea of an ethical company that cares about the community, diversity and fast promotion for climbing the proverbial ladder. But all the while treating their employees like slaves so the big wigs can crunch their numbers to go public in the stock market and get their massive bonuses. I’ve worked at many restaurants of all types, this was the most physically demanding and soul sucking company I have never had the pleasure of working with. I learned a lot about what ethics I will implement into my future entrepreneurial endeavors. Oh and expect remedial excuses as to why u didn’t get the raises they promised for learning to do extra work, half pay at best. I’ve also never seen more racism in a company in my life. The higher management team are cut throat liars and do not care about your well being.
