Not a great opportunity for growth in HR, Pay depends way too much on what other people do that you have limited impact on, as important as a people position is, the company and operators tend to ignore and/or undervalue our position, work all blackout holidays and events when we're not paid operators so it's kinda pointless (we are way too busy to do any effective recruiting and frankly most customers prefer to enjoy their meal vs get hounded about working for us during chaos) The 24/7 business is manageable but can be very tiresome for the managers work life balance and eventually it starts weighing on you that you're responsible for bringing people on to give up a huge part of their life to work because the senior leadership is too stuck in old ways to adhere to modern work life balances (people work to live, not live to work now-shift changes are needed, but are a part of an archaic system-get assistant mgrs) Which leads to my final confirmation, we are Very limited in who/how we recruit (archaic) and the way we're paid really does prevent us from encouraging hourly growth because if we don't have a 4yr degree mgt quota then WE lose money.
