Pros

Management was fair, employeees were amicable. Overall, a good place for a first job. You will be forced to develop a good work ethic fast!

Cons

Management did not do a good enough job at weeding out those employees who were not pulling their own weight. Many problems occurred due to conflicts of interest brought about through management hiring friends, family, etc.

Pros

The pay was decent but the benefits really made it tolerable. Tuition reimbursement is available along with a 100% matching 401k up to 6%. Bonuses are paid quarterly and add around 10% to your annual pay. Medical, dental and life insurance are available for a very reasonable cost. Vacation time is accrued with each bi-weekly paycheck and you can use more than you have earned if you need to (to a limit of course). Free uniforms are provided and meals are free on days you work.

Cons

The hours that Taco Bell is open for business make it extremely difficult to have any type of life outside of work. Salaried managers work 50 hours per week and you can bet that you will be working almost every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. When you open the restaurant, you arrive at 8:30am and are scheduled to leave at 6:30pm. It is unlikely that you will get out on time due to the dinner rush, and this is considered the "best" shift. Other common shifts are 11am to 9pm, or 3pm to 1am. If you are lucky you will not have to close more than once per week which is usually 5pm to 3am. You are working with teenagers who are not always responsable and could care less about the company. There are dozens of measures that you will need to track and if even one of them is out of tolerance, you will be critisized and you will rarely get recognized for what you are doing well.
