Terrible Hours, backstabbing culture among shift leaders and assistants.
Pros
They make the opportunity sound great during the interview process. I was confident I made a good decision taking the taco bell job instead of the higher paying Krystal GM job.
Cons
HOURS ARE TERRIBLE. While awaiting a GM position I was an assistant. I closed, 4am, not home 'till 5:30 am. 3 weeknights and opened both Saturday and Sunday. My off Days were Tue. and Thu. So, my only off days off were spent exhausted or sleeping, I was cranky and miserable for 8 months effecting my home life. One Saturday I got a call from my wife needing me to come home 2 hours early. The closing manager would be there, I worked my tail off setting him up and had made labor all day. when I asked if he minded me going he said " sure, thanks for setting me up. " Opened Sunday, closed Monday and saw I was scheduled 5pm to 5am to make up for the two hours I missed. The thought of 12 hours making food on the line pushed me to do something I had never done before. I quit and walked out. I was threatened with "you'll never be able to work for Tacala again." That part of the story I should put in the "PROS" section.
