Pros

-Simple Menu, easy to remember -Upbeat, Positive, Friendly atmosphere -Free food at lunch on 8+ hour shifts -Easy hiring process & interview -No past experience required -The uniforms are free (Two T-Shirts & a Hat) -Tips -Secret Shopper bonuses -Free Peanuts :)

Cons

-I had to buy a pair of black slip resistant shoes, the cheapest pair I could find were $17 @ Walmart -No benefits -You smell gross when you go home - It's an average minimum wage job -People under 18 cant flip the burgers, cook the fries, grab buns of the warmer for toppings, or use a knife etc. The only jobs they can do are lobby clean-up, or cashier.
