Pros

Hours are very flexible, good job for students, nice bonus plans for the management who works to get it and trains their employees correctly

Cons

not very understanding to management when personal emergiencies come up, Most salaried managers work well past the 50 hours and they do not get paid for this since it is a salaried position. It takes at least twice as long for women working for this company to advance than it does men.

Pros

Taco Bell if very flexible with your schedule. When you need a day off, usually you get it. If you work hard, you will eventually get recognized and promoted. They work with you to make sure that you are on the right path. Working with such an enthusiastic and eccentric group of people is always a plus. I usually have a good time at my job. 3 weekly vacations and 4 after you put in ten years of work is always really nice. I enjoy the atmosphere and the regulars as well. Seeing people happy is what makes it worth it.

Cons

The hours are long, on average 10 hours a day and 50+ a week can take a lot out of you. My legs are usually really sore after a long days work. I have huge varicose veins and I am still at a very young age. I believe that standing for long periods of time are to blame. Sometimes the customers don't treat you well. I find this very discouraging, especially when you are providing the best customer service you can - always with a smile. A lot of people associate fast food and being uneducated and stupid all in one. I believe that Taco Bell is one of the most professional and courteous quick serve resturants around.
