Pros

They're pretty flexible with your hours once you've been there for a while so you can work casually and still juggle school and family and friends. I did have a manager at one point who would get really upset if you asked to switch shifts, i think its a bit hit and miss depending on where you work. Coworkers are friendly and welcoming and you can make some good friendships while you're there. Working with friends can be a lot more fun than working with strangers.

Cons

The pay is peanuts, but what can you expect from a job you need no qualifications for. It can be pretty stressful, especially during lunch and dinner rush when you have to get those orders out ASAP. About 20% of the customers think they're the centre of the universe and will treat you like the scum of the earth. You have to learn to brush it off and not let it get you down pretty early on or you'll hate your job.

Pros

Free kfc for lunch, opportunities down the line to progress within the company, to an extent. Ability to switch/more to a different franchise if need be.

Cons

Paid minimum wage and job can be tedious and slightly dangerous at times, e.g. bagging fries after they have just been cooked. Cleaning the equipment whilst still hot. Also it was as if management only wanted females on the counters/tills and all of the males in the back/kitchen.
