Pros

If you have no skills, then this is an ok to work. You also have a good chance of being a shift manager if you're a good employee. Sometimes you can get free meals for good work and stuff like that. I don't know what else to tell you other than this is a good job for a high school student who can't find any other kind of work

Cons

The pay stinks and it is a very mundane job. It's also not a very glamorous job working fast food. You also have to work with a bunh of morons usually because that's the kind of people that this type of job attracts. No offense to anyone who works fast food.

First job, poor wages, horribly inefficient company

Business Outlook

Pros

It's okay for a first job as it was fairly easy to get hired as there isn't exactly a line up of people wanting to work at Burger King. It wasn't stressful and everyone was able to joke around especially when the store wasn't busy which was often.

Cons

Getting paid minimum wage but I guess you can't expect much more for taking someones order. The drive-thru audio equipment was very old and didn't work well which was both frustrating for myself and the customer. Performance by head office was measured mainly by drive thru times but Burger King's assembly process made times impossible to achieve without the product being made it advance despite them advertising that they did not do this. Several years later looking back at this job and in my final year of completing a Business degree it amazes me how inefficient this company was especially from an operations perspective. If only Burger King could look at their competitors, specifically McDonald's they could likely assemble their product in half the time.

Pros

It gives you a good experience manager wise. You get to interact with a lot people. I like the fact that it is fast paced it helps the time to pass as opposed to sitting at a desk all day.

Cons

As Manager you are responsible for the location so there will be time when you have to put in extra work due to lack of employees, etc..
