Pros

It is a good starting off point for future jobs. It also shows you how fast food restaurants work. Can be a great place to meet and make friends along the way. You learn how to make blizzards and sundaes. It is a very fast environment and will teach you very quickly to stay on top of things.

Cons

It is a hard job if you are not used to being on your feet. It will be either very busy or very quiet. One thing you will find is there are endless things to do. If you don't mind cleaning, restocking, grilling, cashiering, then you will love this job.
