Pros

The pay for a QSR style restaurant is fairly high. Depending on your store and how well you manage it you can make over 6 figures a year - great benefits - Good managers to work with at other stores - AOC and MUM's want you to succeed and will help you achieve those goals. - Get to make your own schedule

Cons

- No work life balance - Meetings up the wazoo. You can't manage your store if your not there - Upper management loses sight of lower management goals because they are so concerned about thriving in the culture - Upwards movement isn't really there. If you are trying to get to Area Coach (District Managers) and above it's almost impossible. There is some relocation you can do but it's hard because not a lot of them want to leave when they are making 500k+ a year. - Staff turnover is huge in this company mainly because you have a set pay you can pay them in your area that is set by corporate. It makes it so we are not competitive in the market for that area.
