Pros

It is pretty easy work with a fairly flexible schedule which is nice when you're working while in school. You can make a pretty good compensation as well through tips, but you need to work a lot of hours.

Cons

Many people get hired who shouldn't. They stand around and don't do anything which requires you to have to do more work than you should. You aren't compensated or given a raise for doing for jobs of 3 people.

Pros

Decent pay and bonuses Potential for a laid back environment Very clean store

Cons

Current GM is terrible with the schedule, constant last minute changes with little to no notice of said changes. Also no notice when a new schedule was out. GM will blame the person for not seeing last minute changes and has penalized people in the past for it. GM flirts with most women that come into the store, even though he has a wife and kids. The drive through headsets will damage your hearing, as there isn't any audio cut off, so people can start cars in your ear at full volume. Grease trap gets cleaned every sunday and makes the entire store smell like sewage New owners are getting rid of PTO for any management employees Part time only and no benefits even as a manager other than a small bonus Employees and management refuse to wear beard nets even when clearly unsanitary Very drama filled environment
