Pros

Store/GM Specific, however, leave an hour early if it's slow...coworkers usually scratch your back as long as you scratch theirs. Potential to Bonus every quarter.

Cons

Scheduling, alot of close/opens. close shifts prior to your weekend. Managament not on the same page...no consistensy. Not enough time in a shift to do administrative work, schedules, interviews, etc. Labor budget & staffing can be extremely challenging. I find the salary is off by a few thousand.

Pros

Short drive, Half off food, Will work with you with your schedule.

Cons

GM unprofessional. Not appreciated for your experience and what u can bring to the table. Tips were poor. Poor customer base. Antiquated POS. No patience to train properly. Are bullies. Heating and AC do not work properly. Extreme favoritism. Do not recommend. Oh and if you didn't make your sales quota, u were told you would lose hours. If a table walked out without paying, they made u pay the difference. Callous, unprofessional, employees came last. Sales is all that matters.
