Pros

-excellent pay for a pretty standard job -flexibility -(general) managers understanding limited part-time avalibility

Cons

-closing gets off often after midnight -managers turn a blind eye to incompetence in shift leads due to seniority (more time = less work people feel entitled to which is the same in most food establishments) -lacking concern regarding employee sanitization -they groom people that don't go to school or that don't have another job to move up the corporate ladder, which means eventually becoming an am working 10+ hours 5 days a week.

Pros

I got to try refreshers for free that’s it

Cons

I was put on 5 8 hope shifts in my first week. The manager, assistant manager, and my coworker all instructed me to do different tasks every few minutes that overlapped someone else’s instructions (in which I was never properly trained to do the tasks). There was an Uber Eats order and the woman was telling me, but I wasn’t allowed to do that yet so I got the AA, he had me pack the order and left me. Turns out I forgot half the order, which I was trying to avoid in the first place and my manager got mad, and he called me slow. Everyone acts like they hate you, you’re an inconvenience. The cherry on top of it all was I was denied my meal in my meal period. I asked for it and the AA just told me to “go sit down.” horrible.
