Moving upward and forward, albeit slow and with many a challenge.

Pros

Stability. Conservative Culture. Family Owned. Texas Treasure. Location. Opportunity.

Cons

"Orange Folders" as they are called need to be routed and approved by every applicable person in several departments when there are obviously better methods to do this. It can take forever to get an answer on if you can move forward or stop and try again with projects and requests. Pay is slightly below average, even for San Antonio. IT coordinator making $41K which US average is over $51K (per Robert Half salary guide 2013). Leadership, in some departments, is not merit based but either "you're the only one left" scenario or some sort of favoritism. So you don't always see "aces in their places." Politics, politics, politics. I haven't had to deal with this much politics outside of election season and other jobs that you knew the politics would be bad, like contracting workers in an out sourced call center.

Pros

50% off meals. clean, every possision had a set guide of what they did. When there is large amounts of orders people are moving and when there is no orders people are layed back but still prepairing for the next rush.

Cons

You are going to smell like greese. it does not come out easy. training is in a little building that is easy to miss.

Pros

The customers! It was a small town, so you already knew most of the community. After working there for a week or two, you knew who the regulars were, what their orders would be, and they know the amount. Smooth and easy transactions.

Cons

Even if you wanted to, the wouldn't let you work over 40 hours. As soon as it was 40.10, they would send you home.
