Pros

I improved my time managements skills, definitely is a place to learn how to work as a team, be ready to learn new skills about kitchen and customer service, being fast and smart is a must.

Cons

The line-ups can be a little be too much, but if the crew staff is on the same page and with the support of the management things can be done. Prepare yourself to clean the whole store in one hour.

Pros

Paid breaks, free food when you work, opportunities to move up if you make friends with the right people

Cons

No real enforcement of labor laws, you're encouraged to work under poor conditions (long periods without breaks, not enough hours between shifts, too many hours in a day or week, horrible managers, etc.), a lot of politics and very . little communication from upper management, only likely to move up the ladder if you befriend the area manager... just all around unprofessional. Needs to have way more checks and balances, as well as someone to actually enforce respectful workplace practices and labor laws.

Pros

- Clean environment - Straight-forward job (not easy, but simple) - Time passed very quickly since I was always at work - Free food!!

Cons

- My location was very unorganized, with unprofessional management - Managers treated their friends better than other employees (the reason I quit) - I was forced to work 30+ hours when I requested 20 hours, as a high school student - I was begged to stay until closing when I was told I was only working until 10 - VERY busy/stressful
