Pros

Learn how to multitask, put up with upset customers, learn if you have thick skin, and figure out if the food industry is for you... definitely not for me.

Cons

Hours, pay, benefits, the rushes, people calling out of their shifts and being short-staffed. They mostly hire high school students which I was one when first hired but high school workers are not the most reliable. I do not think the store owners always care for the employee's basic needs in the workplace.

Pros

Tips, the friends you make with others, free food, drinks, ice cream

Cons

Terrible management, not very clean, not well with cross contamination, doing everything rather than strictly being a carhop
