Exactly what you think it will be like...

Cook

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

If you are lucky enough to have decent managers and friendly co-workers, it can be pretty enjoyable. Good experience for first job. Gives you appreciation for workers in the food-service industry.

Cons

You will come home every day smelling disgusting, especially if you have to clean the friers. Skills learned here aren't really transferable. You will likely have to deal with unfriendly customers.

Worked very hard for 1.5 years, was one of the best around, and didn't get promoted.

Cashier

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The scheduling is somewhat flexible. You can usually get the days you need off. Some may have a more set schedule and others varies each week. Advancement opportunities available (more likely with corporate than franchise)

Cons

Sometimes a major lack in hours given. A lot of times you run short-staffed while you're very busy. It's fast food - most of your angry and hungry customers feel that you are beneath them and will show it. Take it with a grain of salt.
