Pros

-decent pay, got lots of tips -got to work during lunch rush so usually always had orders -short distance for delivery, so you can do more orders, I like this versus delivery through like door dash or uber eats where they send you far distances -worked in the pandemic so I didn't have to interact much with customers as they just wanted me to drop it at the door

Cons

-if there was no orders, I had to clean the lobby or bathroom which isn't that bad but just gross sometimes -online they listed $12/hr but it turned out that it was actually minimum wage as the base pay and the rest of the pay was them assuming I would be enough in tips for it to equal $12. This wasn't always the case and I wish they were honest online -sometimes the smell of the sandwiches got nauseating

Pros

Decent pay and bonuses Potential for a laid back environment Very clean store

Cons

Current GM is terrible with the schedule, constant last minute changes with little to no notice of said changes. Also no notice when a new schedule was out. GM will blame the person for not seeing last minute changes and has penalized people in the past for it. GM flirts with most women that come into the store, even though he has a wife and kids. The drive through headsets will damage your hearing, as there isn't any audio cut off, so people can start cars in your ear at full volume. Grease trap gets cleaned every sunday and makes the entire store smell like sewage New owners are getting rid of PTO for any management employees Part time only and no benefits even as a manager other than a small bonus Employees and management refuse to wear beard nets even when clearly unsanitary Very drama filled environment
