Pros

Easy job. Never work too early(earliest being 8:30) and you never work too late (latest being 9:30). The only main thing you do is food prep in the morning, usually takes 3 hours or so, so you're finished around 11-12. Food prep is just cutting fruits and sorting chickens and whatnot. & then after that you just sit around and do whatever you think the place needs done. Easy job. very reasonable pay.

Cons

Nothing really. you get a lunch rush and a dinner rush occasionally, and you just have to speed up your sandwich making speed. But it's not rocket science, you just put meat and veggies on bread. no big deal.

Poorly Organized Job

Pros

You get to try out different responsibilities quickly such as opening and closing the store. You can meet some nice people customers or employees. The work is fairly simple.

Cons

The stores are poorly organized. You don't have just one set of tasks or jobs during a shift, you are expected to do almost everything. You often have to ask others what hasn't been done or what needs done still. You don't know what to expect when coming in. It could be great or a complete mess. Usually the later. Managers come and go like fads. Stuck in the 20th century.

Pros

The money and food is good. Corporate does the majority of the marketing for you.

Cons

Monthly inspections are incredibly meticulous and I had three different inspectors. Disputes as a franchise owner with corporate are handled internally and submitted to public court without any appeal process allowed.
