Pros

One free meal when you work and 50% off meals on your day off. My manager was nice (kitchen managers and some other employees weren't so nice)

Cons

After reading a few reviews on glassdoor i noticed people complained alot about this job but i just figured maybe it wasn't true so i went ahead and applied and got the job. Im usually a hard worker but i quit after 4 days! All the work they make you do is definitely not worth 8.50 (new york pay) ! The lunch rush is the worst, im moving extremely fast and still get yelled at for not moving fast enough. (to the point that i almost cried) Not to mention everyday my fingers were burning because all the hot stuff (from frying the chips and making the taco shells having to touch it while its covered in very hot oil [you have to wear like 5 gloves] then when working the line you have to replace the food to make it fresh like every 5 minutes and its always burning hot cause the water underneath) and when you're not doing all that you have to make sure to sweep the floors and clean the counter every 10 minutes . and theres more that i will not go into detail about. NEVER AGAIN!

Pros

Learning and growing to cultivate your own career path into a competent General Manager. The hours are longer than regular but the position is labeled as salary hourly with a minimum of 50 hours per week which guarantees 10 hours if overtime per week.

Cons

The long hours can be tiring and the expectations are less than or equivalent to that of a General Manager and depending who your boss is dependent on what you learn and how you can grow.
