About as good as food industry work can get, really.

Pros

The people. My manager would send someone home if they weren't smiling which might sound harsh, but when rush hour hits it made it so much more bearable. It kinda grows on you. Though when it slows down, keeping busy can get annoying.

Cons

The pay - HOURLY it isn't great. After tips and incentives though? Very good.

Pros

I love the vibe about the entire restaurant. It was definitely a fun place to work. Even as a manager, I still enjoyed working there.

Cons

The expectations are a bit ridiculous. As are some of the cleaning methods. Never liked the pressure of what I was expected to do.

Typical Fast Food job: low pay, difficult work, but flexibility and camaraderie made it worth it

Pros

-free meals -flexible hours -secret shopper bonuses -restaurant has a straightforward menu, that rarely changes. -training videos

Cons

-wage stays at minimum wage, and only goes up if you're promoted to a shift leader, even then it goes up just slightly. -Any Tips we got were deducted from our paychecks. -the uniform for team members is just a t shirt which can be uncomfortable as an apron need to be worn over it. -Like all fast food jobs, work can get hot and dirty, but that's how it is.
