Pros

Management is friendly, pretty close with employees. Had a family atmosphere. Drivers make good money (no less than $10/hour after wage+tips) and the hours are not long. Most popular shifts were lunch., constantly busy so you're in your car a lot which makes the shifts go by real quick. Listen to radio/mp3 in car.. Not much side work at all. With 6 drivers in shop, the list can be done in <10 minutes. Lastly, it is very easy to move up from within.

Cons

Managers are constantly being shipped around. I had my entire management staff change in the first 3 months I was there. To be freaky fast, they need many drivers working to cover all the orders, sometimes 12 drivers on for lunch. Shifts can drag on if it's slow and at the same time you're making no money.

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.
