Pros

Good Pay, Flexible Hours, Routine, easy job

Cons

Management unable to be managers. Crew members thinking they run the whole show. "Bird specialist's" yelling at crew members in front of customers in the dining room, thinking they're managers and disrespecting other crew members. With a higher rank, you're still supposed to respect your crew, not bring them down. Managers will listen to the problems you bring up, agree and talk crap about the crew members with you, and still do nothing to resolve the issue.

Pros

They pay closers a tiny bit more after working past 10pm. Free drinks. Restroom 24/7. Good highschool job.

Cons

Pay honestly isn't that good for the work you put in. Managers can be chill but most of the time aren't. Mangers get paid more to do less IMO. No free meals only half off. You have to learn every zone just to get to 17$ an hour. Finally thing, you can get lucky and have a good work environment or you can get unlucky, every single franchised store is different with different management.
