Pros

Half off food when working

Cons

Hours Full time but was never offered benefits Forced breaks off the clock No pay raises (was there for a year and was still at min even though I was promised a raise after 2 weeks) Managment didn't care who they stomped on as long as long as they get the credit when everything goes right

Cons

Make one mistake and the customer treats it as though you ruined their whole day. seniority seems to reign over hard work and experience.
