Pros

You get to meet cool people that are life long friends.

Cons

The pay isn’t enough for what they expect you to do. Higher ups encourage you to work off the clock and they don’t appreciate the work you do. Never good enough.

Pros

Unfortunately I haven't worked there in over a decade. Last I worked there was sometimes around 2010 or so. Pros, free food?

Cons

Crappy pay. Long hours. As kitchen manager I was paid $10 an hour to manage inventory, manage crew, come in at 7am to open and sometimes work doubles when people would call out and close at 11 (even the GM, AM and SM didn't work these works). Was not allowed overtime. Had to constantly clock out early in case someone didn't show up then I would have to come in on my day off. Really, not worth it all for $10/hr. Minimum wage hasn't gone up at all so I would assume it's probably the same pay now. Really not worth it in today's economy. Rent has more than doubled. Can't buy a house on $10 an hour. But, you wanted my opinion even though I can't give a recent opinion of labor costs. My opinion is that any job still offering less than $18-20/hr, even fast food, should be illegal. You cant live on this kind of pay and they can absolutely afford to pay it with their record profits every year. This goes for ALL employers.

Pros

Not really any, the "discipline" they supposedly implant into you goes away after you quit and just becomes anxiety.

Cons

Overworked, not a realistic expectation for workers, and will pay as little and barebone as possible for the hard work of the laborers while the CEO makes <40 million dollars for coming up with ideas that literally every who works there already think up.
