Pros

-Working around a tough schedule. During the school year, I pull in 15 hours a week for classes as well as 20 hours a week for extracurricular activities. -Free food. As a college student with very limited money this is a great incentive for me to work. Shift Managers (and upper management) are allowed to eat up to $10 a shift (I.E. $10 for lunch shift, $10 for dinner shift)

Cons

-Very limited breaks. We are only allowed breaks after each rush, with only 10 minutes each and 1 break per shift. -This job is very stressful, dealing with customer service for over 100+ customers within a 2 hour time frame (Rush hours) -Inconsistent Scheduling. With Taco Bell being a place where people get there first jobs, it is hard to keep everyone around. People quitting and getting fired are an almost daily routine. In fact, the regular workers usually have to work harder because new employee training is a almost daily event.

Pros

I will say there aren't any pros at all within this company from what I experienced. Only pro is to get free food basically.

Cons

Where can I start with this. I personally think management is the most horrible thing ever. I think area directors show favoritism toward their employees. Awful work environment. If you're looking to be stressed 24/7 this is the right place for you. If you like your fellow coworkers to talk bad about you behind your back this is the right place. If you want a company that doesn't care about you as an employee. The goal to Live Más doesn't apply to them at all because they are actually taking away instead of Más.
