Pros

I worked at In N Out for 3.5 yrs and loved it. When I needed to be temporarily relocated for medical reasons the company completely understood and another store accommodated me with the more hours than I was getting at my original store. You can make a lot of close friends and some stores even see themselves as a family and do everything together. If you really show the managers that you want to move up and keep improving then you will be moved up quickly. Overall fun company to work for but it is hard and fast paced work so there is no time for slacking off! Had to leave cause of moving to another state and miss it!

Cons

If you want a job where you can just breeze on by through your hours with doing nothing then this is not the job for you! Work can be very stressful especially during rushes and especially if the rush is at night, mainly because managers schedule significantly less employees to work nights. Can be an adrenaline rush though! Also (not in every store obviously) sometimes when people move up they get this false sense of "I'm better than you" almost like a popularity contest which can be rather annoying and managers tend to turn a blind eye at times so try to report things cause most likely others have done the same which can easily fix the problem. If you are looking for full time you gotta be dedicated. It's really hard to get it and keep it. Managers like to schedule you just shy of the target hours you need and it can get frustrating.

Pros

In-N-Out proved to be a highly demanding, but entertaining place of work while I was in college. The level of work required constant attention and there was really no time to slack off. I absolutely loved this, as it made time pass at an unbelievably rapid pace. Time off wasn't a hassle, as long as it was requested two weeks in advance, which is perfect for the student lifestyle. The pay is amazing, $10.00 to start, with raises up to $13.50 before management. Training is very detailed, and the use of "quick checks" to evaluate your performance is a tool used often. Part-time benefits are offered but not really advertised, and are quite mediocre. The free food kept me alive.

Cons

Despite the environment, management will suck the happiness out of you. High-level associates will treat the individual store as their playground, and pick fights, play games, and gossip while senior level management is only concerned with day-to-day operations. The hours are atrocious, and if you want to work full time, or make any real money, you must be willing to work any time between 5am and 2am. Full time status is usually avoided with scheduling manipulation.

Pros

They pays really good, much high then other establishments. They have a wide range of hours to be worked because of how late they are open. Lots of opportunity for advancement if desired.

Cons

expect to get dirty every day and the work is not easy. You have to enjoy pulling your load, and you defiantly need to be able to handle stressful situations well or you wont last long.
