Pros

I moved up through the ranks in the store very very quickly and became an RGM when some kids are still in High School. I was very happy about that. Salary is ok when you work for a corporate run store but really bad for most Franchise run stores. Its ridiculous when you run a Million dollar plus business and make 32k a year.

Cons

I have worked at Taco Bell for nearly 10 years and I hear all the time about how its possible to move up into a Corporate job. However, it rarely happens. They continue to hire people in above store and restaurant support positions whom have NEVER worked a day in there lives inside ANY restaurant. They went to college, graduated and get a pretty dang good job. While people can put in 20 years and never get there. Oh, by the way I worked 50 hours a week while going to school to get my degree and I'm still stuck in a store. BS, I just can't bring myself to kiss ass and play politics.
