Pros

If you've got a good manager, the days go by fast. The quick pace and large volume of customers keep you moving. Also (depending on your manager) it doesn't take long to move up in the company. I started manager training after only three months. Also, as long as you give enough notice it's usually pretty easy to get time off for appointments and other obligations.

Cons

The pay is pretty awful until you make 1st assistant. Also, expect to do laundry every night unless you want your house to smell like old french fry oil. Managers will usually take the side of an obnoxious customer over yours, even when customers get verbally abusive. Also, expect customers to treat you like and uneducated git, no matter what your GPA is/was.

Pros

You could recieve free meals during and right after your shift,as well as free drinks, ok work life balance for part time,

Cons

Working environment was highly unprofessional and toxic at the time, workers would call customers the r slur behind their back as well as using the r slur at every given opportunity,I would work around 7 or 6 hours and would sometimes go weeks of shifts without getting any kind of break . The only sort of break you get is from using the restroom. Sometimes people would not communicate on schedules. I had a day unavailable because I was attending community college at the time,they called me right as I was headed into class and I assumed it was spam as I didnt recognize the number ,the next day they got upset with me for no showing,when I had been open about what times I was available and unavailable since the interview and management knew. Everyone always in a bad mood,customers and staff. Was not trained to do certain things and then would have management upset with me for it. Draining experience, also unfriendly to autistic people.
