Pros

Flexible scheduling, free tea, and close to home locations are some of the good things about working at a McAlister's Deli.

Cons

Lack of leadership, most employees will do only the minimum to get by if your lucky. At least 2 people a day no call or no show, yet they still have a job the next day. A sign is posted saying "there is not need to tip because we pay our employees well". The bad news is minimum wage is not "well" and the lack of raises or bonuses is very discouraging especially when the posted weekly newsletter continually states that sales are up 20 or 30 percent over last year.

Pros

i worked with nice people, people who worked harder got more hours and people would chip in and help eachother (i worked in the back but i helped up front during rush hour sometimes, and sometimes my coworkers would come help me) and i got a free meal for working a full shift

Cons

the night shift doesnt have a lot of people, and big rushes can happen.
