Pros

This job has Great pay. The benefits are outstanding.

Cons

This job is Not flexible. The hours are not great, but most restaurant hours aren't (unless you serve breakfast). There is not a good balance between work and personal life. Lack of trust from upper management

Pros

The pay is relatively high for a fast food restaurant business, there is a lot of learning and growing involved, and responsibility is given to everyone. Only enjoyed my co-workers and ended up staying longer because they were short-staffed.

Cons

Tons of work and too many high expectations to meet, depending on the management in the area-management usually needs a lot of improvement, high turnover rate leading to almost always a short staff, and numerous complaining customers. Many restaurants have managers that are rarely working since they are on a salary budget.
