Pros

Great pay to do nothing really. Free food on every shift. Some of the people are pretty cool, it all depends on which store you are at.

Cons

Management is horrible. pretty much anyone can be a manager as long as you put the time in. This might seem good but it puts people in management that have no business being there. The level of favoritism that happens there is ridiculous. The favorites get moved into management, the employees resent them because they see how it works, and then they hate them because they become horrible managers. The cycle goes on. Hire crap managers, they train crap managers. The pay is basically hush money, it's enough to keep you quiet.

Pros

In-N-Out Burger is largely a company that is exactly what they appear to be. Truly committed to superior product quality and incredible customer service. While there are always some low performers/bad eggs in any company, it is few and far between at INO. It is a company where performance is acknowledged and rewarded, and the company is phenomenally supportive and spends a lot of money to reward performance (trips around the world for hitting goals, etc. INO pays incredible wages and gives you ample opportunity to make more money and achieve trips and such by hitting your goals. Because they pay so well across the board, if you are a store manager you tend to have the pick of the best applicants, as you're not paying anything close to minimum wage.

Cons

Schedule can be a bit demanding at times if you're in Management, but you are handsomely compensated. If you get under a Manager or Divisional Manager who isn't fair or seems unreasonable, that can be a challenge to navigate. Fortunately, these people are few and far between, and HR is very fair and will go to bat for you if needed,
