Number 1 reason I love First watch is my work, Life balance!! First watch gives you an opportunity to leave your work at work when you leave the building before 5pm every day!! Number 2 NO NIGHTS EVER!!!! What better restaurant than that!! Never have to cover a night shift, never get phone calls about problems at night!! As a General Manager that is HUGE!!! Number 3 they take care of their people financially!! The company helped through the period of the pandemic that we were not working by giving managers a bonus when we came back, called weekly to check on how we were doing and helping with any other issue you might need help with. They stand by their You First Commitment!!
How much they want you to succeed
