Pros

• free staff meal • 25% employee discount • ideal for people with limited availability

Cons

• minimum wage • long shifts standing around • only a 15 minute break for 4-6 hour shifts and only half an hour break for anything more than 6 hours • if you're on til midnight you've to clean the place head to toe and you never get out at midnight, always after it • frequently get sent home early due to lack of labour

Pros

It got to be fun to see how fast we could get on the drive thru, we ended up being the fastest team in our district! My manager was really great at getting us to have fun as a team, and to leave our bs about working fast food at the door.

Cons

Basic service industry stuff. Nothing extraordinary.
