Pros

There is little to no corporate standardization in terms of policies or procedures so you have the ability to create procedures that fit for your work environment.

Cons

Way below average compensation compared to similar positions in the same industry. General managers and executives like to lead employees on for potential promotions, so they will stay for a lower pay but it could be years before they follow through with promised promotions and raises. There are no corporate policies defined for every location so you could end up in a situation where you have to build all tools for success from the ground up, which is something very difficult to do unless you have a great leader with a lot of experience with the company. I specifically was responsible for labor cost for my department, which is expected in my position, however I was an hourly employee whose labor was INCLUDED in the percentage I was supposed to manage. I was told I could get 40 hours a week, but the budgeted labor dollars (set for my department) were almost always lower than if I worked 40 hours. That would mean for an entire month if I worked 40 hours, with zero other employees under me helping with events, that I would still be operating at a high percentage. It was really a lose lose scenario.
