Pros

Basic benefits (e.g. medical insurance for part time employees). Flexible hours. 50% off food prepared in the kitchen provided you are on the clock (i.e. no "discount card"; it must be consumed at work to be eligible for a discount). Time off is easy to come by provided the store is properly staffed.

Cons

Low pay (starting pay is $11 per hour. Good luck supporting yourself let alone a family on $11 an hour for 40 hours per week even with government assistance). High turnover, so you'll be on call 24/7. Assistant managers make about $0.50 extra and are expected to cover shifts (as are other shift workers) on the drop of a hat (e.g. working an overnight or closing shift and being expected to arrive at 3:00 AM to make donuts.) Store managers make about 52k per year plus meager bonuses and work more than 40 hours per week. Corporate policies are increasingly inflexible and absurd, making it harder for store managers and staff to succeed. Employees must find their own replacements (what are managers for then?) despite not having access to the schedules and phone numbers of other employees. No profit sharing or performance based pay (e.g. earnings from lottery tickets sold at your store go to corporate, multi-million dollar stores pay their employees the base rate of $11 per hour. Doesn't matter how hard you work, you won't see another dime in your paycheck, and this company will demand increased productivity with no material incentive.) Breaks are nigh impossible to come by. Good luck using the restroom when you're the only person on register for over six hours and very few employees are cross-trained. Upper management (regional and corporate) oscillate between rudeness and indifference because they are bootlickers of the highest order. Management has an "open door" policy in theory, yet in practice is like speaking to a rock in part because their hands are tied by corporate's top-down, asinine policy decisions. Delivery drivers are expected to have their own vehicles and insurance. $2 delivery fees and tips do not cover gas, maintenance, vehicle depreciation, nor insurance (particularly if one properly reports to their insurer that their vehicle is being used for deliveries, which will increase your insurance rate significantly, and if one properly reports their tips come tax time.)

Pros

Its close to my home

Cons

Corporate dosent care. They dont maintain equipment or property leave employees to suffer the back lash when customers can't get gas or a slushy. The ac was broken during a heat advisory where feels like was in the low hundreds. They do not allow breaks. Somedays you may go 7 or 8 hours with out even a restroom break.
