Pros

DQ is a good place to work because you can get experience in a variety of areas. There is always room to move up in positions if you have the initiative. This provides many opportunities to improve your resume and life skills.

Cons

This job has its moments of stress. It can be very difficult to deal with a rude customer. Also you work in a very large team and keeping everyone on the same page can sometimes be impossible.
