Pros

Lots of room for advancement, it's fun, fast paced and you learn a ton of skills that most other jobs might not teach you. You get to meet a lot of new people and I have made some good friends too!

Cons

The stress levels are ridiculous. Maybe it's just the franchise I work for but you can never get away from work as a general manager. Even if you work a 12 hour shift, go home to your family to relax, you are still at the beck and call of every single need for the store. It's exhausting.

Pros

They will teach you everything you need to be successful. They have much higher standards than most places, one of the few places I'd have no problem eating at any location. They'll make sure you have everything you need to meet those standards, especially once you get to a management level. They have corporate trainers and the GM at my location was also great. I'm a GM at a different place now and my experience here left me well prepared me for that position.

Cons

Pay. That's the only reason I left, I would have stayed with the company if I could have gotten a raise and I would definitely return if they offered something comparable to what I'm making elsewhere.
