Pros

This is a good starting job that you can get with no expirience. No extreme and unreasonable tasks they make you do.The customers are nice to you if you are nice to them. Easy job to do, and easy job to keep.

Cons

Not so easy to move up, you can find yourself stuck here in a couple of years. If you have a bad day and you come in to work, it can really mess up your customer service

I would have stayed if they paid more and gave me enough hours.

Pros

The free food and drinks are awesome. The management is flexible and they were always willing to give me time off I wanted. I made friends and had a great relationship with everyone there. I had fun at work. They were prompt with paycheck and I never had any issue getting paid what I was owed.

Cons

They don't care about the time you're supposed to get off work- they'll keep you however much they want to get stuff done. Or they'll make you go home early if the "numbers" look bad. It's hard work and they only pay minimum wage, so you exhaust yourself for peanuts. There are no raises, only promotion for those that stay around for years, and some don't even get that. There is no real advancement and my manager confided that his pay wasn't much higher than mine. Plus, they don't give you the hours you want. When I wanted less hours, they carried on giving me too many. Then when I was free to work those hours, they cut them and haven't restored them to any previous level.

No room to grow.

Pros

I had many opportunities to be in control of many areas but not many other things were good about working at the two locations I worked at. The manager at my first store was great and the second one sucked. Most of my supervisors were ok though.

Cons

The owner of the franchise I worked at was not involved and only cared about the numbers on the paper. He didn't care how we treated the customers and it was discouraging on how we opperated.
