Pros

you get a meal every time you work. i get paid 7.75 an hour. get tips. can be a nice place to work if you have a nice crew.

Cons

Management is horrible, I ask for a day off they make me work. I said when I apply that I cannot work on Wednesdays and I can’t get from school to work till 4. So they put me on working on every Wednesday and almost every day I start my shift at 3. All of the team leads are good except one; he is a complete jerk and makes everyone feel bad. I called in sick for having the flu after they tell you not to come in to work if you are sick and the evil team leader made me bring in a doctor’s note the next time I came in for calling sick on 1 day after I have been working for a month. They will make you stay after you were supposed to get off. They always want you to close or they will threaten to cut your hours.
