Pros

Free manager meal, hours are abundant. Company has great leadership. Can make you fall in love with working with food service again.

Cons

Pay is bad. No work/life balance. Growth from Rgm is very competitive. Low labor allowance. Stressful days, even longer nights. Profit driven, but claims it is employee driven.
