Pros

Free Food on your shift Always a lot of decent people working with you 50% off when you aren't on the clock food with integrity and the possibility that one day you !! can be a GM or RESTAURANTEUR

Cons

Cleaning the drain socks which are completely disgusting and the pay does not even come close to substantiate the disgust of pulling one of those dirty things out of the ground then having to rinse it clean. The fact you can get stuck by yourself for hours washing dishes alone in a smelly puddle of water because the drains continuously get clogged . Favoritism among managers and who will be promoted... Terrible scheduling where your schedule will come out 1 or maybe 2 days in advance and thats a big maybe... no work life balance , poor pay, you receive A raise 2x a year I believe it can range from 5 cents to 25 cents .... You can work so hard and really put everything you have into this job and the fact is if this store is run by people who are in somewhat of a clique environment you will not get ahead ...

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.
