Pros

Pay is decent and you don't need much in experience or training

Cons

Young and attractive seems to be the name of the game. I saw good people passed over and party girls promoted.

Pros

The base pay is strong, the company is strong and healthy, discounts are nice including 401 k matching and savings plans

Cons

50 hour work week is really closer to 60 hours, district and group management were mostly promoted prior to economic down turn so no connection to new expectations regarding payroll and quantity of leaders. Your performance is very subjective, you could be a fast mover one day and three weeks later be the low hanging fruit they want to terminate.

Pros

Most hourly team members are fantastic Hourly team members treated very well Decent salary Variety Decent company culture If you are one of the favored managers of the district manager, you get to spend a lot of time avoiding your job doing "special projects" while others have to cover your workload plus company mandates regarding time required in position before promotion are waived or overlooked

Cons

No real work/life balance - even though company claims to mandate this actual implementation is not enacted Strong favoritism from District Manager - which if not part of inner circle means no promotions or recognition Work different shifts - one day you're opening, next closing, third on a mid. Claims to have mentorship program, but not in place.
