Pros

It is easy to find a way to be student in the mean time, as we can work at night and study all day... Or we can work all day and study all night! It depends on what we have to do, and the company is flexible as regards hours of work and disposability.

Cons

Sometimes I was very tired and not so efficient for my studies, that's why I had to reduce my quantity of work at the company.

Pros

Experience varies heavily depending on the owner/operator you work for. Free and discounted food. 2 weeks PTO. Vision, Dental and Health insurance. Offers rapid development opportunities.

Cons

Work-life balance is nonexistent. In fact, the director of operations has stated numerous times, “Work life balance is a myth”. The company states you are required to work 45 hrs/week minimum; Realistically, GM’s can expect to work 55-60 hours in store with constant calls and messages when home. The company does not count any work done outside of the restaurant toward your 45hr requirement. There is no training for this position as you are expected to figure it out on the job. They offer $2000 per month performance bonus but are always finding new ways to disqualify you and move the goalposts when you actually earn it.
