Pros

Free burgers (even though they’re cheap already), decent pay for the torture they make you go through

Cons

Disgustingly disrespectful, rude, idiotic, mindless, downright horrible customers which the company takes the side of in EVERY situation. You are worked to the bone, given the worst shifts, given every excuse in the book to not get promoted unless if you’re full time, and you are constantly harassed about looking the happiest to people who make you want to blow your brains out every moment of your shift. The CEO pretends like she cares, but in all reality she’s just sitting on a fortune and doing nothing new with it. At this job, you will never be good enough. You will receive very lackluster compliments for a job well done that are completely not genuine, followed by 2 things you did wrong. The worst people move up, and make your life as a lower level misery because the higher levels take out their frustration on you. This job is hell. There is no other way to say it, other than this job is complete and utter hell. You never get off on time, EVER. It may be 10 minutes or 2 hours, but your manager and your company couldn’t care less if you have a first date after work, they are going to work you to the ground because the customer’s appendage is rammed so far up In N Out’s rectum that they will do anything to make their experience a little quicker. My advice to anybody who has any ambitions in life? Don’t work here. This job sucks. I believed the hype and loved the job at first, and then you realize how much you really are overworked, and how little pay you receive in comparison to the complete beat down you go through every shift. AND THIS JOB IS ALL MICROMANAGEMENT. A cult.
