Pros

It’s a job and they’ll hire anyone willing to work. The work is fairly easy. You’ll get your hours if you’re a good worker. You get a 401k, health insurance and life insurance after a year of employment.

Cons

It’s really hot in the summer. They won’t turn down the ac for us, we’re not allowed to wear shorts and we’re not allowed to have fans. Be prepared to get heat exhaustion. We hardly ever get raises. I’ve gotten a raise twice in the 5 years I’ve been here. The base pay is a slap in the face if you’re an adult with a home, kids etc. We don’t get breaks at our store unless you’re a minor. You’re not allowed to sit down. You can’t wear anything that’s not Dunkin approved so you have to wear jeans or black work pants. If you want to work your way up, you have to have completely open availability.
