Pros

- Free drinks - Allotment for meals at Sonic Drive In

Cons

- Likely to be overscheduled as a minor. (Staying too late or having above 20 weekly hours) - Would be told to clock out to use the bathroom. - Understaffed - Low pay - Some employees are "Tipped Employees," but customers rarely tipped. Its a justification to pay below minimum wage.
