Pros

The hours are flexible, which is good for students. The pay was a couple bucks above minimum wage. Generally younger people worked there. Support from the management was there. Family kind of environment.

Cons

Very busy restaurant. People get angry when they have to wait to eat and take it out on the people who work there.

Pros

Good place to work for high school students. You get employee discount which is really great for the food there. My coworkers weren't that bad either.

Cons

There really wasn't a problem with the place. As with other restaurants, you can expect customers to complain sometimes, especially when there's a waiting line, usually on the weekends.
