Pros

friendly staff, half-priced subs, free drinks from the freestyle machine. plenty of attractive customers/firefighters/cops and although due to their high prices, it's a lot classier crowd then it could be. no on-call shifts

Cons

your free drinks are in child sized cups, you can only have one half-priced sub/day, otrocious uniforms, the t shirts and mandatory black work pants with black non-slip shoes and a hat. But the shoes are a must, OR YOU WILL SLIP. it's a stressful environment, and the lack of knowledge among some of the employees is obvious. cashiering is tough, having to stay for up to an hour after the restaurant closes just cleaning up. to refill the chips, you have to climb a ladder to get to the boxes on the very top shelf then put four boxes on a rolling cart at a time. you're also held responsible for cleaning the dining area/wiping down the tables/replacing napkins/ sweeping/ mopping at closing or for big messes. i don't expect high pay working as a part-time associate yet the managers and shift leaders hardly saw their job title in their paycheck. almost all of the shifts last until 11
