Pros

Decent benefits; Half day Fridays during the summer; fair pay; free frosty's on occassion

Cons

The company makes poor human resource decisions hiring unnecessary positions only to lay them off down the road. I've worked at Wendy's corporate for 5 years and been through 4 rounds of layoffs because of upper management's poor decisions. The company is publicly traded. This means they don't care AT ALL about the employees...even though they claim to. When investors want to see something happen, it trickles down to the average employee completely bypassing executives (who could easily afford a pay cut)
