Pros

Fast-paced, good exercise (depending on what you're doing that day), good food, free meals, better than minimum-wage jobs.

Cons

Poor management, increasingly strenuous working conditions, highly repetitive tasks, store closes late (which means working til 2am or later on closing shifts), strict grooming requirements (short hair required, no facial hair or stubble), must deal with the (more than) occasional rude/obscene customer, and employees are not valued above the bottom-line (always driven hard to reach sales goals that give monetary bonuses to management, but nothing to employees).

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,
