Pros

I enjoyed working with friendly co-workers. Pay was fair.

Cons

Management was incompetent and constantly in flux. There was very little training. The schedule would be changed without notifying employees and them blame the employee for not coming to work.

Pros

Upper management and corporate fairly tight-knit, tipping culture.

Cons

No benefits, no free meals, managers view poor work-life balance as an exploitable asset. Employees who set boundaries are often given less opportunities to climb.

Pros

If you: Like working with perpetually angry girls whom yell at customers; Like being micromanaged over how to make a sandwich; Like being treated like you need constant guidance over really small, simple tasks; Like being paid less than a living wage, and spending more money than what you make daily on getting there and back to your residence; Like witnessing grown men not able to manage themselves within their "job title"; Like being fired via text message ....this might be the job for you.

Cons

Everything. Work/Life balance Pay Benefits
