Pros

Salary, security, free sandwich You cannot beat getting a salary every week as well as opportunity for bonuses monthly. You cannot actually get fired unless you screw up really bad. They will just yell at you and make you feel worthless, then you continue slaving away.

Cons

The actual hourly pay is less than minimum wage for the salary you get compared to how many hours you work. You will never see your family

Pros

Good pay, if there aren't too many drivers, and you're at a good place for lunch, you can expect to make around $50 in tips per day or more, and get reimbursed for mileage. The people there can be hit or miss, some people can be very fun to work with and responsible.

Cons

The upper management can be lead with too many sensitive women, who don't know how to diagnose situations properly, and take the side of the immature employees who get offended way too easily. The co-workers can be very young and irresponsible, but this is par for the course for food places if you don't have strong leadership.
