Fine, hard work, no breaks.

Business Outlook

Pros

It's easy work, and there were okay tips. They typically pay over minimum wage, but not by a ton. Still, for fast food the pay was all right. It was pretty easy to get time off if I needed it.

Cons

Long hours, sometimes no breaks. If you're not actively peeing, you're working. Even eating lunch is done in between orders, no lunch break.
