Pros

It can be a very interesting entry level job. It's a big company and employees are treated fairly. One can gain some good customer service experience. If you like the food there and don't mind eat it everyday, then the employee meal is a plus.

Cons

It can be boring and there is not much new stuff to learn once you have stayed long enough, unless you move up to manage level. One has to a lot cleaning job. For example, every new employee has to clean the bathroom.

Pros

I liked working here as a first job because they seemed to be mostly okay with someone making small mistakes. They knew it is bound to happen so they're pretty happy to help out and fix your issues. You also get a lot of customer service experience.

Cons

Management can be a bit iffy. Sometimes the hours or hard but it's not unbearable.
