Pros

24 paid vacation days per year (7,7,10), pay is mostly bonus incentives but expect to gross about $1400 average every two weeks. Good support from up line management. Supposed quick promotions to district manager who average 60-80K

Cons

Expect to work 16 hour days when second shift calls in sick (once every two months or so). health plan sucks. The job is basically two in one: you will be THE cook from 7am to 2pm every day you work, then you also have to worry about all of your management responsibilities after that. The company will not pay overtime to employees so if someone calls in sick and you cant cover the shift without paying overtime you are working it. its a cheap company but that is exactly the reason they are able to pay well so it's a catch 22
