Pros

65% discount off food items, flex work schedule while going to school, better than your typical fast food job, able to move up to trainer.

Cons

They pay you barley above minimum wage, raises are very small, work you like dogs, they make the good employees do all the crap work, trainers don't get that much of a pay increase when promoted, cleaning tasks never end...The list goes on.

Pros

There were some great coworkers and some nice moments, but those can be found in any other food service job.

Cons

Dirty with bugs that weren't given the time of day by HR. The general managers were intense in a way of always being in a pissy mood.
