Pros

Fun work environment Get to wear jeans to work 50% discount on sandwiches Lots of joking around when work is slow

Cons

Minimum wage - no exceptions! Shifts get cut short with "Hey, work's slow today and we don't need you. You can go home." Irregular paychecks for ^ that reason No praise for great work, but scolding for bad work Knives are way too sharp - I cut my fingers three times, one of which required stitches! Not a good job for an adult who NEEDS the money! I would suggest trying for a management position if you have a family to provide for. This job is best for high-schoolers who need a little money and something to do after school.
