      May destroy your health and leave you penniless and distressed

      Pros

      The food is good and you'll get a lot of exercise. Customers love the store, and it stays pretty busy. You get a small discount and sometimes sample the food. The coworkers are friendly, but if you get hurt they'll be misquoted to discredit you.

      Cons

      It will (not may) eventually destroy your body and if you get hurt following instructions, they will deny you were injured so they don't have to pay benefits while you recover and your character will assassinated. Chaotic scheduling means you can't have much life outside work hours. Customers don't realize that behind the smiles is pain.

      Pros

      The health insurance is good if you work more than 20+ hours, and some of the nicest customers--depending on the location of the store. If you stay long enough, and do what is asked of you all the time the reviews and pay raises are rewarding.

      Cons

      The company has changed IMMENSELY!! It's going towards a more corporate structure which is hurting the company, and even more so the employees. Used to be more of a family business feel, where you get to know everyone, but now it's more strict and corporate like. I cannot stress this enough. It does vary from store to store and from region to region though. So you could get lucky, or not. If you work less than 20+ hours you will not have the option for benefits as they will refer you to Obama Care whereas before it passed, EVERYONE was eligible for health coverage.
