Pros

Fast food means there is always work to do and Teamwork was great. Customers were nice overall.

Cons

As more people were getting hired the more hours they kept cutting cashiers. It got to a point where I was going in only 3-6 hr per week.

Pros

My manager was great when giving days off but only when it was important such as school. Other than that, it was all good

Cons

Very little job training from management

Pros

Free food for lunch break.

Cons

Literally everything else. Enjoy burning yourself on the grill whilst you manager screams at you for chicken.
