Pros

Hours are flexible, can usually work in different shifts in order to accommodate students, which at the time I was. Free food: once the daily cooked food items are over the 'expired' timeline, which is by 5 a.m the next morning, employees can eat it. I had plenty of free meals. Friendly customers especially if you are outgoing and sociable. It is easy to make friends with regular customers.

Cons

Hours can be really long, especially if co-workers call in sick. Sometimes I got 13+ on the overnight shift. Checking IDs for smokers even if they look old as dirt is annoying especially at 'rush hours'. Pay is low and managers can nickel and dime you.

Pros

Pay, Schedule Flexibility and Local Teams - That is where the pro's stop

Cons

Upper Management don't seem to have a clue! They do cuts throughout the company every 2 to 3 years just to hire back/hire new people into roles they eliminated 6 months earlier. They say they value people and their concerns but the majority of workers say nothing about the toxic work environment created by Zone Leaders and above in fear of being singled out. They create positions that don't add value to the field and add more and more work onto field staff. Size of areas continually change - first its 10, then 12, then 16, back to 12 and back to 14+ stores. No consistency in there direction, they train you to manage the whirlwind but the problem is...... they create the whirlwind! Upper Management is a do as I say, no questions asked
