Pros

Awesome and fun co-workers Delicious food

Cons

Super stingy Get in trouble for not doing anything, even though there is nothing to do Clean pointless things Dont get paid for breaks (which is illegal) Forced to close on school nights (dont get home until midnight) Get written up if no one will cover shift, even if you are sick. Socks have to precisely cover your ankle bone We use Windex to clean tables, bathroom, etc. (not even sanitary) No raises

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.
