Pros

Seeing my customers come back because of my excellent customer service and delicious food (customers words). Customers smiles. I like how the Vetrans of the store actually pitch in to work as a team

Cons

Scheduled doubles and have to work 7 days a week. Not paid for prior experience. Been Working here since I was 16 and I left to serve my country and I brought enough customers to 2nd shift which got the store at goal more often than usual. to be paid minimum wage. Manager loves to micro manage yet his store continues to fall apart.

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
