Pros

Flexible Schedule, good first job. Once you become a shift leader or manager there is nowhere else for you to go from there.

Cons

No ability to move up unless you franchise a location for yourself. Really no regular pay increase. I was there for 4 years and only made 65 cents more in that time.
