Pros

Management has the potential to be wonderfully helpful, and the customer base is often respectful. The work is varied enough to not get monotonous, and the hours will fly by. Many coworkers are extremely helpful in daily procedures, and are generally very fun to interact with.

Cons

Honest, hard workers BEWARE! You will often be saddled with the lowest common denominator coworkers, who hardly pull their weight and are potentially outright toxic individuals. Common sense would say that working cooperatively on a team would be more productive--common sense is correct: some days you will get the lucky shift with the equally proactive individual, who recognizes that tasks split evenly require just enough energy not to get bored, but are just simple enough to not be overwhelming to any one individual even during busy hours. More often than not, however, due to your outstanding work ethic, you will be saddled with whoever has the worst work ethic. (As this job is usually in demand, the department would rather have someone who does next to nothing than an open spot and no one to fill it.) You will be stuck cleaning up all the messes AND serving all of the customers AND making all of the meal items for the next day, chiefly because someone is "busy doing" x or y simple task as slowly as they possibly can afford to. To combat this, you will be advised to be assertive about job tasks, by confronting this bad egg on a daily basis.

You get paid every week.

Cons

• They talk to you like you're stupid. • Their tone becomes more aggressive when you don't brown nose them. • They don't lead by example nor implement any teamwork. • They make daily operations more difficult to complete as a flex. • They disguise their racism towards employees as company policy institution. • They become spiteful when you don't fall in line and take out their frustration on your workers while store management look the other way. • They talk negatively about you in group chats and emails. • They pretend to be inefficient when they don't want to help. • They harass & imprison your workers as soon as you clock out (by eyewitness accounts). • Management will sabotage your evaluation, hire special needs people for critical thinking jobs, & accept underperforming associates from other stores just to save money. • Higher-ups will deny qualified applicants employment while conspiring to hire the children of old classmates who purposefully show up to work late. • Store management will physically assault minors who steal on the premises and act openly racists to shoppers of color.
