Pros

*Miami is a beautiful city to live in, HQ very close to the airport *Peers your own age, lots of young people straight out of college

Cons

*Very demanding culture, zero tolerance policy for making mistakes *Long hours, most people work an average of 60 hours a week *Mediocre pay, benefits keep getting cut *Extremely high turnover rate, people are fired on a regular basis, others get fed up and quit *You are promised upward mobility/quick promotions, in reality, once the directors and managers get fired, analysts then take on their work to cut cost *Lacks high-level quantitative analysis in all areas/functions, current methods are inadequate

Pros

-Will give lots of hours if you are a good worker -If you ask for a certain position (front of house, drive through, kitchen, etc... you will generally get it -After a year, they do offer benefits -Most of the staff and managers are very sweet and good at their jobs, will stand up for their staff

Cons

-Lower pay, but still more hours than most fast food places -Some of the lower level managers have big egos (The main manager is super nice) -Corporate monitors the cameras to watch for people on their phones/drinking water. I understand the phones to a degree, but having a sip of water or a water bottle near you shouldn't be an issue. -While you can progress up the ladder, there isn't an automatic system or anything like that set up.
