Enjoyment is Entirely Location Based

Pros

Decent pay (as of 09/29/2025, around 13/hr starting at location) for fast food, clear and consistent methods of increasing pay (cap is 16/hr for crew, dependent on location), HR actually follows up (results vary depending on severity of claims), Flexible Hours, +1$/hr past 10pm and +2$/hr while training other crew members, gift cards and parties for crew.

Cons

There are no "Objective" bad aspects to the Cane's Employment structure but some of my fellow crewmembers feel that the amount of effort expected is disproportionate to what is expected from other blue collar sectors like retail or other fast food stores. Enjoyment/satisfaction is very dependent on the people working but this is obviously the same at every job.

Pros

Canes Mission and Vision is what kept me here. We strive to serve nothing but the best, and have active community involvement while keeping work FUN. This has been my favorite job I’ve ever worked at and the longest job I’ve worked at.

Cons

I would say the only con is labor fluctuates and as a new crew member you have to work hard and show your stripes to get hours, however this is how I am Now a manager ! Canes takes care of their workers.
