Pros

If your high school or college age this is a cool place to work. Most other people are the same age and they are pretty flexible with school hours. Also free food.

Cons

Promotions seem random and based off if the manager likes you than if you do good work. They give off an additude that they don't really care about you and that you can be replaced any second.

Pros

Lots of hours for good employees. I always get at least 40 hours a week.

Cons

Expect a lot from employees for little in return. Lots of turn over, meaning you will most likely be working with people who don't know what they are doing yet, making it more difficult.
