Pros

Taco Bell offers you great benefits as a manager. They pay for my schooling 100%. Also, my husband and I like to travel and I am able to request time off whenever needed.

Cons

The RGM that I work for is horrible. Because Taco Bell has to have a paper trail before firing a salaried manager, I will continue to have to work for her until they finally fire her.
