Pros

- Decent pay (I think) People are friendly

Cons

- Can get very stressful (especially when Manager is shouting rudely) - Literally have to have a shower after every shift, you get that much grease on you. - Floor is very slippery with water an oil - Place is not the cleanest of places - No one seems to monitor the appropriateness of what employees and managers say, because people are constantly swearing and talking about some really explicit topics (within earshot of managers) - Managers keep shadowing you and pointing out every mistake you do (the ones that are really trivial) - Said Managers get upset of the littlest things you do, like not wearing black socks, even if they're covered by your pants and no one can see them. - Can be very messy work (especially when cleaning stuff) - Having to stay back for closes, sometimes not getting out until 11:30pm - 12:00am - Inconsistant rosters: One week you could get 18 hrs, one week you could get 5. - They that the job will not get int the way of your hobbies or education, almost always does, and they don't do anything about it - Some managers aren't really qualified as they are the people who got a casual job at 15 yrs old and never left.

Pros

It got to be fun to see how fast we could get on the drive thru, we ended up being the fastest team in our district! My manager was really great at getting us to have fun as a team, and to leave our bs about working fast food at the door.

Cons

Basic service industry stuff. Nothing extraordinary.
