Pros

Free food, good team spirit Can occasionally have a laugh with other employees but not often.

Cons

You don't get paid enough You often get left on your own and you have to deal with the lobby and serving customers at the same time as doing a close. Very stressful Management are useless No staff (less than 10) I'm part time yet I'm having to work 42.5 hours a week + college because we are short staffed. Lots of people phone in sick all the time Wanting to leave but your manager threatens to give you a bad reference if you do. Awful.

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.
