Pros

Flex hours. Many free meals. Friendly environment

Cons

Their technology is so outdated it dates back to the 1980's and the new technologies they are trying to bring along are not any newer. Their competitors are 10 or more years ahead. Believe it or not they still use modems to communicate with computers. It is a very political place. Do work here if you are a good politician. Don't work here if you want your work to be valued for what is worth. Many senior managers are very arrogant, they think they know everything and don't want to hear bad news. They get offended very quickly Yearly raises suck. If you meet your job's expectations the most you are going to get is a 2% raise. That is typical. In other words with inflation running at 3-4% every year you are worst off every year. An employee with 7 or more years is better off finding a job somewhere else in order to catch up with his/her salary. Don't blame Taco Bell. To sell meals for 89 cents they need to cut corners.

Pros

Free beverages. . . . .

Cons

limited pay increase (worked there for over a year and only received a 15 cents raise after 12 months) unreasonable hours no room for schedule changes (as a new member of the company my schedule was very flexible, but as I got further into the company and learned more positions aside from cashier, it became difficult to change schedule or request time off) crazy customers (after over a year of working there I have dealt with the most difficult, demanding, and disrespectful customers) be prepared to be verbally abused by upset customers (as a cashier the anger will typically be let out on you) absolutely no employee recognition not the place for a teenager to work (worked with no one near my age) in my area the majority of employees were hispanic and spoke little english, made it incredibly difficult to communicate as a team cleaning bathrooms (at taco bell...enough said) Promotions are available however raises are not (was promoted to team member trainer, took on all of the extra responsibilities, only received a 15 cent raise) Management was obsessed with conserving hours so had minimal employees working at all times, this became incredibly difficult to deal with during busy times
