Pros

I enjoyed the people I worked with at the store. We had fun. Have even met some good friends while being there.

Cons

The pay is minimum wage and going into the first level of management is only $0.5 raise. With all the stress of managing teenagers that don't wanna work, low staff so everybody is always needed, having to meet the timer, and rude customers, the job was hell. Most customers will bite off your head instead of communicate the issue. Never enough people on staff to handle someone calling off. Out of store bosses are usually nice, until they e-mail. Then they are rude. Even had some bosses tell my store manager and co-manager they were a disgrace, when the store is the busiest year around in south Ohio and almost everybody working there loved them. Pay is only good once you run a district. Then with your bonus check, you can buy a boat while the lowest manager maybe can buy a pair of pants. They say do the right thing but ever since Dave Thomas died, they have taken away crew vacations and benefits. What they do offer is a joke including to low management. 401k but only match at 3%, so around $20 every 2 weeks for working 40+ hours. Sechdual is chaotic and random. Never know what you'll work week to week. Could close one night at 1am then be in the next morning at 8. Or even open at 5am then close the next night. Impossible to have a sleep sechdual.
