Pros

- Good Pay for Salaried Members of Managers - Great Pay for Co-Managers - Outstanding Pay for Club Managers - Fantastic Bonus Structure that scales with Pay - 85% of the associates are absolutely wonderful - Majority of programs are "planned" wonderfully

Cons

- Long Hours, 60-70 per week (If you want to have a successful career) - Forget spending holidays with family ever again - You are a target for Members, Associates, and Upper Management: Member's blame you for long lines when budgets are cut or a particular policy is not in their favor. Associates will blame you for all of the companies problems and that you personally are cutting their hours. Upper management blame you for lack of execution of company programs while continuing to hammer you on poor metrics. - Working will burnt-out managers who are not willing to put in their share. - Poor Training, on the job. Handed keys and told good luck!

Pros

Good pay, less stressful than many kitchen jobs, guaranteed break times no matter what, good benefits

Cons

Communicating with managers is almost impossible. There are too many managers, and they are unaware of what the other ones do. The lead who writes my schedule changes constantly and I get a schedule that doesnt even make sense Ill go a week or more without seeing them (Different shifts they are at another store etc) and when I finally do talk to them they tell me to ignore what the app says. When I do that it dings me on points that affect how much PTO i accrue.
