September 2015
General Manager, Restaurant:
This kind of job is ok for someone who has time to kill. It's not a profession where you can live on as a single parent. You will have to get another added job. And they don't look at you as a person with feelings. They don't care about you as a person.
September 2015
Go above and beyond.
General Manager, Restaurant:
Be familiar with your staff and commincate with them as individuals but plan for a team.
September 2015
General Manager, Restaurant:

September 2015
Hard work and stress.
General Manager, Restaurant:
Pros: I enjoy meeting new people and training my employees to be the best and provide great customer service.
Cons: There is a lot of stress from upper management. As a Manager, we never have time to do administrative things, this is a hands on job, sometimes we work more then 50 hours a week or we work six to seven days straight to the point that your depressed! The lack of applicants make it difficult to hire people when needed. We don't pay junior management enough money for them to really care about the position. I don't mind taking ownership of my store, but sometimes I have to do maintenance on the store which is hard to do when your busy doing other things. Some stores are in poor condition and they want us as managers to paint, do plumbing work, sometimes replace floor tiles. So I consider myself a manager and a manager of maintenance department in my store. After working on a store you don't own, your to tired to work on your own house.
September 2015
Its ok if dedicated.
General Manager, Restaurant:
Pros: The Business side to the job, for example, serving and cooking.
Cons: The lengthy hours and lack of social time.
