Pros

(Please keep in mind these opinions are views are of THIS particular location, as this location was more run by family than it was by franchise) Very flexible shifts so that you're able to watch your kids or attend school. Hours are based on performance, the tasks are easy to learn, the menu items are also easy to learn and recognize. All in all, this position is more fitted for someone who is in a roommate situation and going to school.

Cons

At this particular wendys: No raises, no benefits, low chance for promotion, VERY low communication between management and crew, and low skill transferability. If this is a job that you absolutely need and must have, by all means go for it, and be greatful. Learn all you can and move up into shift manager or ride it out as you work towards your goals.

Pros

It has flexible hours and its a step into the real world and other challenges. You are faced with problems that you will have to learn to face in every day life no matter where you are or where you work.

Cons

If you are an employee working under one of the managers that are unfair in the way that things are ran, you don't have much voice or power to do much. If there is something going wrong within the company and you try to bring it to someone's attention, unless it brings a problem to higher management nothing will be done about it.
