      Money is decent, but you're just a number of course.

      Pros

      Really cool staff usually, but management really makes or breaks the work environment.

      Cons

      For fast food, they really do expect a lot from you. Always trying to get you to want to be promoted but you have to take literal written and physical tests to be promoted. And they really try to lay on the pressure THICK. A lot of coworkers I had including myself didn't want to be promoted because the amount of responsibilities doubles but the pay increases by $1.

      Pros

      Welcoming environment. All the staff got along well and really made the shifts worth it. The managers were always nice and coached us well along with always asking for input and looking for ways to approve. Even when going to other stores or having managers/ staff come to ours to help or observe it was always filled with good vibes and helping each other learn. Definitely the place to be if you’re going to work in the fast food industry. The store manager was always checking up on his employees and taking interest of what they do outside of work to better connect. Pay was always fair but the manager I had definitely got us a few raises over the time I was there. A great advocate for working your wage.

      Cons

      Literally the customers. People are so rude when it comes to their food and the customers were the only downside to the job.

      Awesome Pay, Horrible Workplace

      Pros

      Competitive pay, guaranteed raise every 6 months if you don't have any write ups. Semi-flexible schedule

      Cons

      Sexism and favoritism are prominent at this company. Managers refuse to do anything about sexism and the victims take the consequences instead. I've been harassed by multiple coworkers and have bluntly told management about said harassment and was told that they weren't going to do anything. Regional managers were also aware and do nothing. If you are a woman, I would strongly recommend you look elsewhere. Men are looked out for and given promotions first before women are even considered. During orientation and training, you're promised that managers will always be seeking out promotional opportunities for you, but they are more concerned with their bonuses and own opportunities.
