Pros

A good place for a high school student to learn the basics of food service. Very regimented and structured work routine. Room for advancement to management positions.

Cons

Many employees do not have a high outlook on life; some are what are considered "lifers," as they will work there for most, if not all, their working life.

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.
