Pros

- Medical - Vision supplement plan - Dental - Flexible spending accounts - Short and long term disability - Employee and dependent life insurance - Accidental death & dismemberment (AD&D) - Travel and business travel accident insurance

Cons

Classical lose-lose situation: If you work hard and give 100% to the company, you will most likely lose your job to a teenager who will work for much less. No room to grow career wise so its basically a dead-end job so to speak. Enough power to abuse employees because they work for cheap and has no other alternatives. No consideration for the extra task(s) that is done. The constant overshadowing of upper management.

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)
