Rough first job, but decent

Pros

Free food, decent managers, flexible hours and alright coworkers

Cons

Hard on legs, constantly burned hands, workflow can be excessive and I very often had to run the expediting for meals, along with often waiting a while for food to be made. Last manager was also rather hard to work with, hours got stilted by the end due to the strange way the schedule worked with my agreed hours. Payrate is a little above minimum wage but rough to recommend for the amount of work.
