Pros

It's a good place to start out in the job market, especially if you are willing to work weekends and nights. Good food and easy to learn procedures make Taco Bell an entry level job. If you want to move up in the company, all you have to do is be willing to work, and do it efficiently.

Cons

You're looking at a lot of fast paced work, and for some people this doesn't sound appealing. There are plenty of rushes at peak hours, and things can get intense. Especially if there are customers that expect more than you can give. Pressure, if not dealt with in the right way, can cause people to fray at the edges.

Pros

there is free food for the employees which is always good considering you can change what you eat all the time and never get tired of it. Most of the times it stays busy so you can be free of boredom which making food.

Cons

the repetiveness of a fast food restaraunt. It gets old making the same thing over and over again. the pay is not very good and you have angry customers all the time complaining about stupid things. The long night hours are bad for any life because you work till 3 in the morning.

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.
