Pros

In-N-Out: Pays well (as of 9/29/11, they pay $10 starting wage in CA) Has decent benefits Flexible with school

Cons

-Inconsistent Pay: While the hourly wage is great, hours fluctuate greatly until you move up in the company. Throughout your time there, it can be anywhere from 10-40+ hours per week. Pay varies every week, so every check is pretty different. -Benefits are good (vision and dental for part-timers). However, the company doesn't seem to cover a lot of practitioners. -Sales and competition are pushed quite a bit for a fast food place; can be over the top and stressful. -In my limited experience (only worked at one store), management doesn't do much. My manager plays on his phone for most of the day.

Pros

In-N-Out Burger is largely a company that is exactly what they appear to be. Truly committed to superior product quality and incredible customer service. While there are always some low performers/bad eggs in any company, it is few and far between at INO. It is a company where performance is acknowledged and rewarded, and the company is phenomenally supportive and spends a lot of money to reward performance (trips around the world for hitting goals, etc. INO pays incredible wages and gives you ample opportunity to make more money and achieve trips and such by hitting your goals. Because they pay so well across the board, if you are a store manager you tend to have the pick of the best applicants, as you're not paying anything close to minimum wage.

Cons

Schedule can be a bit demanding at times if you're in Management, but you are handsomely compensated. If you get under a Manager or Divisional Manager who isn't fair or seems unreasonable, that can be a challenge to navigate. Fortunately, these people are few and far between, and HR is very fair and will go to bat for you if needed,
