Pros

Free drinks and half price food

Cons

The manager at my location was not understanding at all. She made any discussion with her one I was fearful of. Customers could hear her outside in the seating area. As a student who was working part time she have me 35 hours a week, and did not change even once I informed her two weeks in advance.

Pros

sometimes you'd work with good colleagues.

Cons

management was a mess - they changed every few months, hardly enforced the policies or procedures, which makes it impossible to do your job as a trainer.
