Pros

They hire at 15 (well, mine did) Some co-workers are fun, I mean come on, who isn't happy around ice cream? Parking

Cons

Oh GEEZUS 1. Pain in the butt to deal with management including hours, working a different position, or asking a question. If you don't know something, my manager makes me feel like an incompetent reptile than answering the question 2. Some co-workers are irritating and disrespectful. 3. You're expected to just know what to do. 4. Way too many things expected out of each person. 5. Managers that don't know what to do. 6. No opportunity for advancement 7. NO RAISES 8. EVER 9. Ridiculously disrespectful customers

Pros

-Great coworkers -Decent food -Awesome desserts -Fairly easy to operate fryers and ice cream machinery -Teaches basic math and customer service skills easily transferable to other jobs

Cons

-Rude customers (creepy old men, smokers, demanding/excessive requests, etc) -Entitled regulars (were up at 6 AM daily banging on the doors to be let in and several looked down on employees for working in fast food) -Ice cream bags and drink boxes were a pain to carry -POS system was ok to operate but got complicated at times (would overcharge customers or be difficult to find certain items) -Drive Thru system (headset and speaker) were a pain to operate, especially when customers whispered or when it was raining -Strict and hard to manage Drive Thru time requirements (maximum of 3:30) -Two managers were fired for stealing…
