Great first job, fun place to work.

Business Outlook

Pros

It is a good starting off point for future jobs. It also shows you how fast food restaurants work. Can be a great place to meet and make friends along the way. You learn how to make blizzards and sundaes. It is a very fast environment and will teach you very quickly to stay on top of things.

Cons

It is a hard job if you are not used to being on your feet. It will be either very busy or very quiet. One thing you will find is there are endless things to do. If you don't mind cleaning, restocking, grilling, cashiering, then you will love this job.

Pros

Its a place where you can make minimum wage or get paid to do a lot of work for 25 thousand dollars a year. if poverty is a lifestyle that you want feel free and apply. If there is any reason to work there i would not know what those are. Dairy queen is a place that new people to the country can see what america is really about. long gruelling hours are the norm but for seven dollars an hour you may as well collect change on the side of the road. overall dairy queen can change someones life.

Cons

long hours horrible shifts greasy messy one uniform that you never wash

Pros

They don't really need anything from you except commitment. The managers are nice and respects your availability, but it sometimes ends up with you not getting any shifts at all. Another reason is that it is perfect for a high school student who needs some extra money. I found it very nice that the company likes to employ younger people. Employee discounts is also great at the company!

Cons

Low pay, and no chance of advancing at all due to the way the company is structured. A few managers treat employees as expendable costs rather than an asset that helps the company generate revenue.
