Pros

free meals, salaried (don't have to worry about how much I am paid each week)

Cons

1.Equipment varies from location to location creating inconsistency 2. your training store can be up to an hour away 3. some managers and above think that they know everything since they been with the company...forever! 4. Any experience you have at restaurants outside of Wendy's is considered irrelevant 5. Training program is a one size fits all, they don't individualize it if you are a faster/slower learner 6. Don't care about safety and health such as: back door not latching, freezers outside, missing proper to cut food operate fryers, etc.

Pros

-Mostly good coworkers -Plenty of hours available

Cons

-Most shifts are very busy, so it can be stressful. -Inconsistent staffing, so sometimes you're expected to fill multiple rolls when people call out or no-show -Inconsistent levels of accountability. People who work hard are often expected to do more for the same pay while others slack and are not held to the same standard. -Despite working there for several years during high school, I never received a pay raise.
