Pros
Flexible Schedule, management usually worked with me when I'd have sudden days I needed to be off. Free drinks while working. Praised/bragged on as a great worker on cash register.
Cons
The job was great... For the first two months. It was my first real part time job. I got in because I knew someone else that worked at another store regionally. I was best in our store and in our region at raising money for the public safety foundation and had the highest upsell numbers. Manager would always brag on me and tell me how great of a job I was doing and everything. Then after about two months... Several people had been promoted and given raises. I was promised a raise at the interview if I could prove I was worthy. Never got a raise, never got promoted. Then we had someone new come in and get promoted within three weeks. And I was still making base pay. Boss ended up being moody and a jerk to employees whenever he was in a bad mood. Several people started leaving. I was trying to avoid fast food when I went searching for jobs and was actually about to shred my application when my friend told me she'd pulled strings and I was in already without having to apply. Only took the job because I was desperate and down to $14. Hated the uniform too and kept waiting for promotion because then I wouldn't have to wear the ugly hat that bothered my head so much. Even though it's not your stereotypical fast food restaurant, there's still a lot of oils and grease in the air that can settle on your face and help contribute to breakouts and acne flares. Not good if you're a 16 or 17 year old kid with problems already! Hated the smell I had on me everyday after work and it also spread to my car. My car smelled like a sub for weeks after I finally quit. It just got really negative and was no longer worth the pay I was getting, which was mostly sent to my gasoline fund that I only used to get to work. So it became a viscous cycle. Make money, buy gas to go to work to make money to buy gas to go to work and so on. I really had a miserable experience and there was already a lot of emotional issues I started having at the time. I loved the day I quit. :)
