Pros

Awful compassion towards the mentally ill so no not a pro. I had no food at home so at least I got free burgers. Cause your employees can't even afford it

Cons

You have sons and daughters. You are human beings. I am someone's daughter. Sick, poor, and frail. And I was pushed out of your company for my "bad attitude." Im sure if your secret shoppers knew that I witnessed the death of my father at 19, they'd cut me some slack. I'm only 21 and have been working non stop ever since to provide and be strong for my family. Terrible work support.

Pros

Very easy to get hired, Secret Shopper program is nice, you'll learn lots of skills at once which can easily help you get a similar job in the future.

Cons

No proper training. This was my first job and in the middle of the lunch rush at a popular Manhattan location, they gave me a 5 minute demo of how everything works and then I was left alone to juggle an endless stream of guests. When I was going too slow or doing something incorrectly, my co-workers would yell or get an attitude with me. Manager was no where to be found. Very stressful, not worth the $8/hr.
