Pros

Pretty flexible with schedule if you give a week notice. Free meal depending on how many hours you work. Pay for A's on your report card, but only if you work a certain amount of hours a week.

Cons

Rude customers. Have to find something to do even if everything is clean and there aren't any customers. You will be scolded if you are caught without a cleaning utensil if there aren't customers or you haven't been giving a task. Once you close the register, it won't open again. If you make a mistake you have to get a busy manager to come open it for you. You have to beat customers to the register or window if you are cleaning dishes or the lobby--an everyday task. Very fast job, especially for a first job or if your store is close to the interstate. Even if the store is consistently packed, you have to complete your side-tasks. You will have to stay late to complete them, no exceptions. I never left when I was scheduled to. I was asked to close on many occasions when it wasn't my responsibility. They don't really train you, you learn by practice, trial and error, ect.

Pros

You could recieve free meals during and right after your shift,as well as free drinks, ok work life balance for part time,

Cons

Working environment was highly unprofessional and toxic at the time, workers would call customers the r slur behind their back as well as using the r slur at every given opportunity,I would work around 7 or 6 hours and would sometimes go weeks of shifts without getting any kind of break . The only sort of break you get is from using the restroom. Sometimes people would not communicate on schedules. I had a day unavailable because I was attending community college at the time,they called me right as I was headed into class and I assumed it was spam as I didnt recognize the number ,the next day they got upset with me for no showing,when I had been open about what times I was available and unavailable since the interview and management knew. Everyone always in a bad mood,customers and staff. Was not trained to do certain things and then would have management upset with me for it. Draining experience, also unfriendly to autistic people.
