Pros

meet some decent people, get a small discount, flexible with punctuality, easy interview and no experience is needed to work there. Good for first job or student.

Cons

managers are usually rude (some are ok). pay isn't good if your under 21 it not good how you will do better or more work than an over 21 year old and get paid less. Customers are rude they don't understand that they are ordering fast food and not instant food. If your good and they are understaffed or busy you are always asked to stay longer. When you just start and are learning the ropes you'll get sent home if they're over staffed. Assistant manager at my store was stealing money they give you a standard meal for break fries medium drink and a burgar no promotionals or delis or even salad. Depending on who is there others won't pull their weight They don't like replacing broken things

Pros

Experience varies heavily depending on the owner/operator you work for. Free and discounted food. 2 weeks PTO. Vision, Dental and Health insurance. Offers rapid development opportunities.

Cons

Work-life balance is nonexistent. In fact, the director of operations has stated numerous times, “Work life balance is a myth”. The company states you are required to work 45 hrs/week minimum; Realistically, GM’s can expect to work 55-60 hours in store with constant calls and messages when home. The company does not count any work done outside of the restaurant toward your 45hr requirement. There is no training for this position as you are expected to figure it out on the job. They offer $2000 per month performance bonus but are always finding new ways to disqualify you and move the goalposts when you actually earn it.
