Vantaggi
Able to have an open schedule. If you meet the right people, your experience can be much better than the whole. There are good employees and franchisees throughout the company to learn from. Company car is provided, with gas, for some positions. Some of the fringe benefits can be great.
Svantaggi
There are too many initiatives that are deemed important at one time. Any time sales go down, there always seems to be one too many fire drills. There are far too many individuals who are in leadership positions who really should not be there. The politics are the worse I've ever experienced. There is too much of a mistrust between corporate and the franchisees which lead to major headaches for frontline corporate employees. Store expansion is too ridiculous and can and will eventually hurt the company no matter what is preached. There is little chance for advancement unless you'd like to move to Dallas, and if you cannot or unwilling to do so, you get blackballed. Far too many stores need remodels and upgrades and are not getting them. Long term goals as well as budgets are unrealistic. The culture of Servant Leadership that has always been preached is never properly fulfilled.
