Pros

The pay. And that’s about it. Company picnic. Met few lifelong friends.

Cons

Managers are constantly changing. At my store the District Manager was very out of touch with what the store actually needed to do to improve and overall that stressed out the store manager who took it out on his employees. They think managers can be trained, but some are just horrible people who harass employees and cause anxiety. Hours are long, and my store manager was a jerk about even the slightest change in hours. Hostile work environment, at my store there was no sense of community among employees. I know not all stores are like this, but at this job I had the most anxiety and I was unhappy for years. Also the makeup / grooming policy is ridiculous. No winged eyeliner? Seriously? Get with the times. They turned away workers and terminated workers based on tattoos.

Pros

In-N-Out Burger is largely a company that is exactly what they appear to be. Truly committed to superior product quality and incredible customer service. While there are always some low performers/bad eggs in any company, it is few and far between at INO. It is a company where performance is acknowledged and rewarded, and the company is phenomenally supportive and spends a lot of money to reward performance (trips around the world for hitting goals, etc. INO pays incredible wages and gives you ample opportunity to make more money and achieve trips and such by hitting your goals. Because they pay so well across the board, if you are a store manager you tend to have the pick of the best applicants, as you're not paying anything close to minimum wage.

Cons

Schedule can be a bit demanding at times if you're in Management, but you are handsomely compensated. If you get under a Manager or Divisional Manager who isn't fair or seems unreasonable, that can be a challenge to navigate. Fortunately, these people are few and far between, and HR is very fair and will go to bat for you if needed,
