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.

Pros

Great senior leadership team. Work/Life balance and recognition culture. There is also a great belief in people. I did not need to explain everything I do.

Cons

Change in direction,recent downsizing and outsourcing of positions. Also a lack of committment to for new supervisors to coach their direct reports. If you are going to move up the ladder, take your people with you. Take the time to groom them for success. Too many of the people in management positions lack people skills.

Pros

Management was fair, employeees were amicable. Overall, a good place for a first job. You will be forced to develop a good work ethic fast!

Cons

Management did not do a good enough job at weeding out those employees who were not pulling their own weight. Many problems occurred due to conflicts of interest brought about through management hiring friends, family, etc.
