Pros

1)Free food whenever you worked... It is, however, extremely fattening, and can be really bad for you.

Cons

1)Large biases from managers; favor of one coworker more than another simply because of their looks. 2)Hours per week were minimal, and kept getting cut because they would keep hiring more workers (I am assuming because of benefits, look at number 4). 3)Coworkers can act however they want... including being rude to customers as much as they wanted to be, or even ignore the customers to play on their phones and take calls while on the clock. 4)Any benefits you wanted meant you had to work a minimum of about 30 hours, which almost never happened - I believe they actually try to keep you well below 30 hours a week just so they don't have to give you benefits. 5)Management does not value you at all, no matter how hard you work. They don't care.

Good job for high school students

Pros

Better pay than most jobs for younger students. Free food during breaks! Good prospects of moving up in the company.

Cons

Very labor intensive and fast pace job. Constantly on the move, especially if you work at busier store. You have to be a quick and efficient worker, no slouchers, you will slow the line down and upset the managers and your team.
