Allows for team members to easily move up with the company.
What I wish was different
General manager treated all managers unfairly and targeted specific employees she didn't like. On multiple occasions I've also had to fight to be paid. General Manger was manipulative and created an environment of distrust between coworkers.
Advice
Work hard but not too hard, your hard work will be recognized by them continuously expecting you to do other people's job.

Shift Manager
January 2018 • Rochester Hills, MI
What I liked
I was given the opportunity to really challenge myself, becoming a manager after only about six months of working at the restaurant. It was neat to learn new skills in such a short amount of time.
What I wish was different
It would have been nice to not have to split my time between work and school. I understand that is just how it is right now, but of course, it would have been a little less stressful.
