Pros

The managers were terrific; they always looked after you and helped you with anything you needed. Great first job. Able to climb the ladder to becoming a manager very easily.

Cons

Getting in the hang of things. At first, it's a bit overwhelming because it all moves so quickly, but once you get it down, it's actually very fun.

Pros

Good hours, some friendly coworkers, and the foods great.

Cons

Usually always on drive thru alone through rush hour w. no help. So many lazy workers, they'll dislike you if you're a better worker. Really there's one of the rudest cashiers and hasn't got fired.
