Pros

Tips depending on where you live. Carhops in my area made a good amount of tips. If you skate you make .50 cents more an hour. I made more as a carhop than I would have been able to at any “hourly” job

Cons

Super busy at times, can get stressful.

Pros

I knew the job, so it was easy.

Cons

I had worked at Sonic, even being a GM at one point, for over 15 years and I was making less than people they were hiring new, that had no experience at all.
