Pros

Easy to be hired, few qualifications necessary (fill out form + interview); fast but complete job formation/training; job security - as long as you work well; friendly crew/managers. Respect for personal life issues / school (students). Hours can be set depending on availability/preference. Shift supervisors are especially nice. Bonuses based on the effort and usefulness of crew members.

Cons

Depending on where your restaurant is situated, hours may or may not be as flexible as advertised. Repetitive tasks, some very unpleasant chores... Recognition sometimes not given where due. You can get stuck in a position depending on employee availability. Little possibility for job advancement.

Pros

Clean working environment, for a fast food restaurant. Probably one of the better quality food of the fast food chains as food is prepared fresh daily and any over cooked food or food that has been sitting out too long will be thrown out. Most of the people who work there were friendly as well. They have scholarships that you can apply for which is very nice. Also they have monthly recogniztion award for employee of the month. You also get a discount on food.

Cons

Sometimes we were understaffed which would result in customer complaints about long wait times for food as everything is backed up.

Pros

Wendy's overall procedures and guidelines when followed are simple, straightforward and make for a good working environment. Management does receive regular raises and benefits are equal to most any other company around.

Cons

The Wendy's I am currently at has a lot of morale issues between crew and management. There are way too many friendships between crew and management which causes chaos for the store operation. The employees rarely receive raises which makes it hard to hold onto experienced workers.
