Pros

Genuine chances to progress from team member to RGM, the opportunity will always exist as long as you have the potential. There are some really good people that work in the business, the brand has proven incredibly resilient and if you can do a good job in KFC then you will succeed anywhere, thankfully there are some great franchises out there with great people working for them

Cons

Yum who own the brand don't have a clue or care about the operational challanging in store or about the store teams although they will pretend they do. They will say in every Comms they want to simplify ops but every marking window there do the opposite. Stores teams will be working from 7 until midnight, and with a typical store having over 50 team members your phone will never stop buzzing.

Pros

It got to be fun to see how fast we could get on the drive thru, we ended up being the fastest team in our district! My manager was really great at getting us to have fun as a team, and to leave our bs about working fast food at the door.

Cons

Basic service industry stuff. Nothing extraordinary.
