The work is not hard

Cons

The managers were rude to employees and it is not as clean and sanitary as many would believe. Food is also less fresh than you would think.

Most co-workers are nice, but the ones who bring negative energy aren't punished in anyway. Not too stressful. Pay was decent.

Pretty Bad Management They don't care about the hours you need. No Paid Breaks No Free Meal Management is too controlling Everyone secretly wants to quit
