Pros

The competitive pay as well as the way management works around your schedule. A complete delight to work for such an upbeat as well as consistent company.

Cons

The only downside I'd have to say about working there, is the fact that they don't want you to get more than 40 hours weekly. Especially if the team is already short staffed, they would rather struggle than to simply pay for an individual's hard work.

A stepping stone for your IT career.

Pros

One thing Taco Bell has going for them, is their ability to hire people with really great personalities. Still, to this day, my favorite co-workers have been from my time at Taco Bell. They're just really great people, and I have nothing but love for them.

Cons

The position is essentially a glorified call center, like most help desk positions, and although it is a great stepping stone to get your IT career started, unfortunately most people end up staying there for 5+ years, making absolute peanuts. The work environment is also akin to a kindergarten. Management loves to micro-manage you to the bone, and expects you to come 10 minutes earlier than your actual paid and scheduled work time. The technical work is hardly technical. At the end of the day, Taco Bell sells tacos, and you really can't expect there to be a high, even medium level of technical challenges at this position. Working at the Help Desk is like, trying to get out of a 9-5 rat race inside another 9-5 rat race. If you're starting out in IT, this is a great opportunity only if you stay for 1 year. Learn as much as you can, and find greener pastures else where. I've done exactly this, and 4x my salary (and counting).

Pros

Great lively brand that is known to be innovative, in with the millennial. Office building is also amazing w great gym, etc.

Cons

Culture has evolved into more cut throat and back stabbing. Ever since previous CEO left, company has taken big step for the worse. Poor management at the top. Lots of talent attrition - good people are all leaving. It’s no longer the place that attracts strong talent - which is causing brand to lose steam.
