Pros

-The meal discounts -The friendly open team and management -The salary for a fast food place is nice -The uniforms are comfortable and really modern and not bad looking

Cons

-Management is nice but not strict and not good -They ask you to do multiple jobs, for example I am a cashier yet I do food prep while doing cashier,drive thru, cook is very demanding from someone -The hours are long and they over abuse you if you let them -Unfair management half of crew does not do there responsibilities
