Pros

Good employees , music, bonus incentives, hours

Cons

Upper management create problems, turn employees against eachother an at most times are unprofessional. There is one manager who will spin any issue to claim no fault, the worse part is said manager is backed by the higher ups. Upsetting at the least to a hardworking redshirt.

The pay isn't great, and I didn't like the environment.

Pros

You get a free meal at break time, and the most of the managers are nice. You have the possibility of earning points from the secret shopper and getting a bonus, but this is only occasionally.

Cons

Tips are basically nonexistent, the job is extremely monotonous (you spend most of your time sweeping peanut shells people just drop onto the floor), and at not even $8.00 an hour, the pay isn't good enough to keep people around for long. There is an extremely fast turnover rate.

Demanding but enjoyable

Pros

Good pay for someone just starting out. Very professional work environment. Secret shopper bonuses, free food on lunch break. I found pride in making burgers that are better than most places in the country.

Cons

Very competitive hiring process. Little chance for mistake in training. Very strict order process for workers. Fry warmer too hot considering they don't sit there very long. My hands became uncomfortably hot very quickly into the training process.
