Pros

The team is supportive and genuinely wants to do good work. The company offers decent work-life balance and interesting projects.

Cons

There’s little to no opportunity for internal promotion. In my experience, and from observing multiple teams, employees are rarely promoted, regardless of tenure or performance. The company also frequently adds new processes, meetings, and reporting tasks, which have significantly increased workload without corresponding raises or title adjustments. Over time, it feels like expectations keep climbing while recognition stays stagnant.

Pros

Learning and growing to cultivate your own career path into a competent General Manager. The hours are longer than regular but the position is labeled as salary hourly with a minimum of 50 hours per week which guarantees 10 hours if overtime per week.

Cons

The long hours can be tiring and the expectations are less than or equivalent to that of a General Manager and depending who your boss is dependent on what you learn and how you can grow.
