Q: What does a typical management schedule look like?

A: Our assistant managers typically work a rotating schedule which includes days, evenings, overnights, weekends, and holidays. This rotating schedule is important because it allows all of our managers to spend development time with the General Manager. A typical work week is 50 hours per week, but we strive to grant 2 days off in a row, and we try to write the schedules 4 weeks at a time. Our General Managers typically work 3 day shifts (7 am - 5 pm) and 2 mid shifts (9 am - 7 pm) per week. Our General Managers typically work 1 - 2 weekends per month.
