Pros

Easy to learn tasks and good on the job training. You learn how to grill a mean burger and make amazing fries. They'll also hire just about anyone, even if you're still in highschool.

Cons

Have to learn self control for when it comes to food. Saw several co-workers pack on some delicious pounds. The pay was minimum wage but then again what job(with no prior experience needed) doesn't pay the same?

Pros

You are told to be full of energy and you have to be happy. You are allowed to talk about non work subjects just as long as you are working.

Cons

The pay is minimum wage with raises nothing to dance about.. I'm looking for something else just because of the pay. 8/hour.
