Pros

-Flexible scheduling -Part time or full time (in some places) -Bonus checks for scoring perfect on secret shoppers -Free food for lunch -Cash tips in addition to hourly wage -Free uniforms and hats

Cons

-Minimum wage -Little to no pay raises (been there almost three years i've gotten 50 cents, which was all in the first year) -No opportunities for advancement (three tiers: crew member, gray shirt, store manager) -7 hour shifts (have to work six days a week just to get 40 hours) -Communication between District Managers and stores is poor. Crew will be reprimanded for doing things that had been changed and we were never notified. -Some corporate practices make no sense but questioning them does nothing but get you in trouble.
