Pros
The only benefit to working at this restaurant has to do with the coincidental fact that the particular store I worked at was very close to my apartment, so there wasn't much of a commute but that's nothing to do with the restaurant itself.
Cons
- low pay, even at a dollar above the federal minimum wage the income is woefully inadequate. Even IF you can manage to get (and stand working) 40 hours, it would be low for a single person in a relatively cheap apartment without a family to support. - only offered more hours to work the horrible nightshift - OBSCENELY busy, meaning NONSTOP influx of customers for almost an entire shift sometimes; even when we'd close lobby the cars just keep coming and coming and coming - understaffed, and GM would try to have me and others believe that TWO PEOPLE in the entire store was enough for an effective crew at night when there is so much volume and so much detailed cleaning expected from us to boot - having worked at a few other major fast food restaurants, I found the positions awkward and overly demanding. For instance, at any other place, when you're on grill, you're not also making sandwiches or even touching them for any reason yet at Whataburger you're supposed to build half the sandwich and are actually expected to touch the bread without gloves after handling raw meat, albeit after using these sanitizing wipes that are provided On fry station, you not only drop and box all the fried stuff, you're expected to do what anywhere else would be the drive thru person's job, and the screens are hard to understand yet one is expected to instantly know everything to make based on those stupid screens - high stress/fast paced: as I mentioned before, I'd worked fast food before but this is just not how I want to spend my time on earth, literally slaving away to make burgers and fries for swarms of unappreciative consumers who take you for granted. Not working ANY fast food, but especially not Whataburger where it's NONSTOP busy/rush-to-make-orders almost all of the time and I somehow wind up doing the worst positions, but then again even drive thru absolutely sucks when it's busy even though all you do there is handle money, hand out bags, and make drinks! I could continue on to list cons, but I will refrain. Frankly, I can't see how ANYONE does this work for longer than two weeks!
