Pros

Gave me the hours I wanted to work. Free burgers and fries for every shift :)

Cons

You are told that your first day at a station is there for you to learn and ask questions. All I got was a manager who expected me to know everything from some introduction videos and wouldn't answer any of my questions.

No respect for employees. You are expendable.

Pros

It paid minimum wage, which is better than no money at all. Hours were flexible, but scheduling was chaotic, inconsistent, and sometimes my coworkers were begging for hours just to manage to pay rent for the month.

Cons

I worked here for almost 2 years. I was never given any sort of employee review. Never given a raise. I always did anything that was asked of me and was always on time. This company just sees you as a replacable, low-cost, worker that they can find a replacement for within the week. If one store's staff quits en mass, the surrounding town's stores help the store hobble along and manage to survive. Overall, the people who work here are grossly underpaid, extremely undervalued, and not respected by the upper management.

Pros

you can possibly make tips usually not that many since you have to split them up with everyone at the end of the shift. and free food but gets horrible after the second week

Cons

the upper management are slave drivers and don't respect you as a person. have multiple bosses telling you to do things different. they don't look for good workers they just put anyone anywhere. they hire managers that sexually harass the young girls that work there
