Pros

Generally friendly atmosphere, coworkers become good friends. Great place to work part-time while in school

Cons

Low benefits for managers (no maternal/paternal leave, no sick days, no personal days, no flexibility) Long hours, poor corporate attitude, managers seem brain-washed by the company. Main goal is immediate profit return with little attention to employee needs. Very patriarchal.

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.
