Pros

Laid back environment, easy job, regulars are always a ton of fun! Concise expectations and fast pace work make the day go by fast!

Cons

Mediocore to lowest pay in fast casual food. Many franchises ask more of their employees than are willing to do themselves. Management on all levels, depending on the franchise can be tempermental and catty. You will work every holiday, except 3, even when a store makes less in sales than in labor costs. Reimbirsements are often as much or mpre than the tips you recieve as a driver. Not always the case, and some days will be better than others, but its very inconsistent. Ridiculously over priced menu, which you will hear about everyday.

Pros

Good pay, if there aren't too many drivers, and you're at a good place for lunch, you can expect to make around $50 in tips per day or more, and get reimbursed for mileage. The people there can be hit or miss, some people can be very fun to work with and responsible.

Cons

The upper management can be lead with too many sensitive women, who don't know how to diagnose situations properly, and take the side of the immature employees who get offended way too easily. The co-workers can be very young and irresponsible, but this is par for the course for food places if you don't have strong leadership.
