Pros

Easy to move up through the company. Good for a first time job or a teenager. Discounts on the sandwiches.

Cons

No clearly defined break times. Upper management (Area Managers and higher) can be really anal about insignificant things. Drivers don't get any real compensation for running their cars in the ground for the company. The scheduling can be disorganized depending on who the general manager is.

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.
