Pros

You get a paycheck every two weeks, and it's difficult to get fired. Highly flexible hours.

Cons

Everything that the Captain D's website advertises is a lie. Our food is not fresh, our shrimp is not hand breaded, and out sauteed vegetables are deep fried. Working here makes me feel guilty, for slowly killing every customer that walks through the door. Our LAMAR system, makes it incredibly easy for customers to get free food, which stresses out the staff even further. Upper management avoids giving out raises, and treats their underlings like dogs. The 'can do' attitude that they claim to strive for, is nonsense, as their policies and expectations are both impossible, and demoralizing. Not to mention, frequent consumption of Captain D's, causes mercury poisoning, which slowly drives their staff to madness. If you have to choose between working at Captain D's, and swallowing Arsenic, take the latter. It'll kill you less painfully.

Pros

Schedule flexibility, discount on food

Cons

Indians own the store and they are related to the owners. The relatives are lazy and racist and when you complain, they take the sides of the relative. Also, fish sits under the lamps and they double fry it.
