Pros

None. Not even a discounted meal.

Cons

Broken A/C in summer heat, had to train new employees, always out of supplies (sauces, lids, etc), freeze machine was broken the entire time I worked there, too many shift managers fighting for power, favoritism to some employees, they make you feel guilty for calling out sick, they don't follow procedures, only got 1 uniform tee shirt to work a 35hour week, last minute schedule posting, touch screen broken at drive thru window, skin broken out from all the grease, angry coworkers, long shifts with no breaks, minimum wage, worst place I've ever worked.

Pros

The work is easy when things are running smoothly and free food is pretty great. There are some people that click easily with you and it helps the team work aspect that should be there.

Cons

There are a lot of people who don't know what they're doing or they're extremely rude as well as lazy, thus making you have to do all their work in order to keep the place anywhere near in order. The current GM is very rude and seems to really have no respect for anyone there. Constantly getting more hours than a part time employee should be getting. Always understaffed so things can become really stressful real quick during a rush which causes customers to become extremely rude due to extremely long waits for fast food. There is next to no training at all other than other employees telling you how to do something.
