Too much work for the pay

Pros

Free food on break. Great coworkers. Good managers in the location I worked. Above avg pay compared to other fast food.

Cons

They will over work you. You have to do everything. Taking orders, cooking, cleaning, dishes, prepping and what's not. Constantly in motion. Only break is the 10 and 30 minutes break. Seldom will you stick to the schedule. Some will call out and it becomes a mess. Almost all the food is processed except the vegetables. Meats comes already cut and seasoned as most of the sauces. Nothing special just lots of artificial preservatives.
