Pros

They WILL train you even if you’re 16 and it’s your first job and the management was always very supportive and nice

Cons

Slow work days if you get bored easily and don’t have small tasks. I also got a couple last minute call ins but nothing crazy

Pros

While I was working at El Pollo Loco, I was able to gain a understanding of the food industry at a corporate level. I would recommend working there if you're a student needing a simple job.

Cons

Language barriers can make it difficult for your job to be completed.
