Pros

Great people to work with Fast-paced environment Lots of skill training Free burrito/bowl/salad per shift, paid lunch break after 5 hours

Cons

Management treats people as disposable, hires many young workers on visas who feel they have no other choice and who do not know they are being exploited Federal, provincial and local laws are not followed Work is never done fast enough, employees have to cut corners to survive and food safety suffers Constant employee turnover due to unreasonable management demands eg. employees are expected to find their own replacement if they have to miss a shift for any reason Inflexible schedules mean employees always work unless they are dead, sick employees have no incentive to stay home

Pros

Free food for breaks, young team, not many crazy customers compared to other fast food restaurant chains

Cons

Always short-staffed at night and double the work from the mornings, the manager has to close multiple positions alone, with insufficient and poor training because God forbid you clock in to learn how to work best.
