Bad Experience..

Pros

Pretty flexible with schedule if you give a week notice. Free meal depending on how many hours you work. Pay for A's on your report card, but only if you work a certain amount of hours a week.

Cons

Rude customers. Have to find something to do even if everything is clean and there aren't any customers. You will be scolded if you are caught without a cleaning utensil if there aren't customers or you haven't been giving a task. Once you close the register, it won't open again. If you make a mistake you have to get a busy manager to come open it for you. You have to beat customers to the register or window if you are cleaning dishes or the lobby--an everyday task. Very fast job, especially for a first job or if your store is close to the interstate. Even if the store is consistently packed, you have to complete your side-tasks. You will have to stay late to complete them, no exceptions. I never left when I was scheduled to. I was asked to close on many occasions when it wasn't my responsibility. They don't really train you, you learn by practice, trial and error, ect.

Pros

The customer experience. You experience the good and the bad. The knowledge you gain about running a business. And the employees you work with.

Cons

The pay may not be what you want. Especially with the hours worked. There could be a lot of overtime.
