Pros

-Above minimum wage pay ($16+) -Lots of opportunities to get raises as you level up (which could take time depending on the store) -Full time/Part time benefits -Free burger and fries each shift -Flexible (good for college students)- my manager was very accommodating with my school schedule and requested time off -Sick hours and vacation hours are separate -Managers aren’t hired externally. Everyone is “leveled up” towards being a cook and some get promoted to level 7 which is pre-management or like a supervisor type of role. There is a lot of room to grow and managers make a lot of money -Made life long friends through the company

Cons

(Applies only to some stores) -Stores in certain areas/cities are definitely busier than others. You should familiarize yourself with the one you’re applying to is in because it can get pretty stressful as a new hire, so prepare yourself! -Work environment can be toxic -Some managers play favorites which can either make your shift easy or more difficult than it needs to be -Hierarchy between levels -Repetitive movements. Make sure to do your pre-shift stretches and micro stretches throughout the shift because it really takes a toll over the years especially in the wrists

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,
