Pros

1) Weekly pay 2) Great co-workers (luck is required) 3) Meal discounts 4) For Door Corps, the position gives you experience in crowd management, face-to-face customer service, autonomy

Cons

1) District Manger holding you accountable for the inaction(s) of a Unit Manager 2) Obnoxious customers, especially the ones fueled by alcohol/drugs 3) Working while sick. You don't work, you don't earn money, sick days etc. 4) Striving to remain open through threats of natural disasters (but customers tend to appreciate it)

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
