Pros

MOD was the first job I ever held. I started when I turned 18 and worked until I left for college. When I came home for the summer, I was re-hired at another location. Most of the team was great. They really have a knack for hiring employees that mesh well together and are extremely personable with great energy. Of course, sometimes someone would be hired who didn't fit the vision of MOD or want to do the work but they didn't usually last super long. MOD is fast paced and actually requires that you pull your weight but there are no unreasonable demands. I love how MOD gives people second and third chances and doesn't throw your application out because of a mistake. I personally don't have a criminal record but I have worked with some who do and they are some of the kindest, most genuine people I have ever met. MOD believes in second chances and giving people the opportunity to make a life for themselves.

Cons

My only issue is they keep the bad managers and fire the good ones. My first manager was great though he could be a real jerk at times. He worked you hard but as soon as you proved yourself, we eased up but still kept his expectations clear. My second manager got away with so much. He was horrible, always made inappropriate jokes, always understaffed, showed up late, left early, etc. Eventually upper management caught on and he was fired shortly after I left. I don't have an cons really for the company itself, only the managers but it's a moot point seeing as they are no longer with the company.

Pros

Fun place to work, fast paced environment, often pleasant coworkers, flexible schedule, decent tips, great location.

Cons

Original family that started the chain had to sell (2004). The corporation that bought it seems to be trying to run it into the ground. Took away benefits and perks from employees, swapped out higher quality products for cheap, low quality products, and to cut their own costs down, won't allow enough team members to work a shift, leaving us short handed and overworked. Customers paid the price by having excessive wait times for their food and frequently walked out. It was embarrassing! Our store didn't have a manager for a full year, which only added fuel to the fire. What started out as one of my favorite jobs of all time turned into nothing less than a nightmare.
