      Depends on what your goals are and how you want to get there.

      Pros

      If you have no formal college education, you are still able to rise through the ranks and get paid a good salary if you're willing to pay your dues. Advancement is a strong possibility.

      Cons

      work 60+ hour weeks with no overtime pay, work all holidays, no support for continuing education, unit manager still cooks, cleans bathrooms, etc. If you have formal education, you will soon find that you're working much harder and longer for the same money you can get elsewhere for a more prestigious position.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Family like organization, everyone knows who you are, not just a number. Company stock has a decent return every year, allows you to build up money. Everyone seems to be friendly with good integrity, people are willing to help each other, and handle the tough challenges. Company is always growing, and always looking for people to be promoted. Fun activities are regularly scheduled, and they get involved in the communities a lot.

      Cons

      Incomes can go up and down, but in the longterm you will do well. Stock benefits dont really kick in for several years but when they do its big money. The first two levels are more task-oriented and its not until you reach the third level that you really get to lead a larger group, but you can get there in 3 years pretty easily. You have work all the holiday weekends, and most weekends but you get really good vacation time and your days work out to be pretty short. There are multiple career paths once you know how to run a restaurant, but you can wait a while for an opening.
