Pros
- Opportunity to make 6 figures as a GM - Bc it is a challenging job, I learned a lot about myself, others, leadership, business, etc.. - My Training Leader was absolutely amazing & very supportive - Opportunities for growth in the company - My team. They are what kept me going.
Kontras
- You can forget having any sort of a work/life balance bc most weeks you’re working 60+ physically, mentally, & emotionally demanding hours a week. - Upper Management was very condescending & manipulative. More like drill sergeants lol. I always understood & appreciated the high expectations but I wish more mercy was shown from them during the peak of Covid. - Ample risk of getting injured. From large burns to deep cuts to tendinitis (BOH mostly) - Didn’t have any assistant manager & was at a high volume store which was too much responsibility for 1 person - They promote “healthy happy lifestyle” but make it near impossible for managers to achieve that. - Pay for associates wasn’t enough for the amount of work they do
