Pros

The atmosphere is always busy which makes the day go by fast. Also there is variety as I never work the same position two days in a row.

Cons

The pay is awful. The scheduling is awful (some days I'll close at 1 or 2 in the morning and have to be there to open at 4). Some customers are rude and treat us like we're all idiots because of where we work. A few of our assistant managers aren't very good (they insist we get the order out as fast as possible and say they don't care if it's correct or everything is in there because they have to meet the time deadline even if it means more work later).

Pros

Free food during shift when you were able to be put on break

Cons

Lack of care for basic cleanliness was common. The dispensers for sweet tea were not properly cleaned and covered, and were often full of bugs they attracted. When I brought this up to management they blew me off and acted annoyed I brought it up. They would also complain under their breath for employees briefly going to wash their hands, as required by law, after clocking in, coming back from a break, after using the restroom, and other times it was needed (such as after cleaning something or handling money before then touching food). The brooms used to clean the floors were filthy and extremely poor quality. Did not properly address employee health especially mental health (such as when they were understandably distressed by customers exhibiting very inappropriate behavior such as cursing/shouting at workers, throwing things etc)
