Pros

To be honest I'm only writing this review to open up the full experience of Glassdoor. However this job is perfect for any minor to make some quick cash. If you are an adult that needs a job because you know the economy is pretty messed up then this will work. Apply but don't expect much though.

Cons

Low pay unless your a minor then heck ya

Pros

1. My co-workers work VERY hard including my manager. We are a tight group. 2. 50% off food (only while working).

Cons

1. Only managers and above receive PTO. NOTHING for crew members even if full-time! 2. Only managers and above receive health benefits! Again, NOTHING for crew members! 3. Only managers and above receive paid holidays. Yet again, NOTHING for crew members. 4. The pay is VERY low, especially with the volume of constant duties in a shift. 5. The training, or lack thereof, is consistent with most corporations where greed is the most important thing. NOT employees!

Pros

-the people there were very nice.

Cons

-Horrible management, has no directional skills and does not want to discipline those who have done wrong - The pay is horrible for the stuff they had me doing: ------Only person taking trash out ------Mopping Entrance Tiles ------Mopping Dining room in morning before open even thought its supposed to be done at night as well but they refuse to do it (the floor is super sticky since I left and is basically a tripping hazard for customers) ------Temperature Reading of products------Only Person Cleaning the walls behind equipment (fryer grill & oven) - Did it every day basically (or as much as I could) ------Cleaned and replaced the fryer lights where the fries and nuggets sit ------I would clean the drains under the sinks and by the stations ------I would put away truck even though night crew gets it and they should be putting it away since it comes at night. ------I would come in around 5:30 every day to help out to open as well ------Night crew would leave potatoes or things in drawers like chicken until the morning (wouldn't throw out product at the end of the night) -----I would always do outside maintenance in the morning and try to keep the outside as neat as possible when no one else would volunteer to do it -----Many more things would come up when I was working there. -People would do drugs like smoke weed on the premise while clocked in
