Pros

Young staff/managers, fun people, short shifts, easy menu, no grease, simple tasks, great music, good food, very clean. The managers work with you and you get to know them very well and it's a very fun friendly atmosphere. You usually get sent home early when it's slow, which is alright unless you have bills to pay. You get a pretty good discount on sandwiches. You work in a small kitchen with everyone so it's easy to get to know each other. Constant schedule, mine hasn't been changed once, making things easy to plan for.

Cons

The district manager stops in sometimes and is way too serious about what he does. Monthly audits put everyone on edge, very corporate, lots of rules. Strict dress code (comfortable clothes though). As an in shopper there is a 11-3 and 5-8 shift. Working both is the only way to get real hours. No benefits, raises, etc. There are times when it is very slow and once your done cleaning you stand around feeling bad about standing around, mostly people play on their phones or talk to each other but if your not really friends with your co-workers it gets boring. If you want a day off you have to find someone to work for you (which they usually don't) I've had to go in sick. You have about 3 managers which all have diffrent expectations, but it isn't hard to adapt.

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.
