They treat the burgers better than the employees

Pros

The job itself wasn't so bad. At least they let you have fun at work, because it adds to the mood they're trying to create.

Cons

They don't want to give full time hours, because they're trying to avoid paying for health insurance. Unless you're a salaried manager, then they'll work you a ton of hours. You basically have to be a manager working 50+ hours a week to get insurance, and then you're on salary so you won't get overtime pay.

The hours can be during busy times of the year, but you are compensated well during lulls in the year.

Pros

You get free food during your shift.

Cons

TONS of false promises that include pay and positions. They are rude and have awful communication. This company can't seem to communicate at all. Do NOT work for these guys unless you've exhausted all of your options (including McDonalds and Burger King). When you first get hired on, they promise you TONS of things, make the company sound great and put a fake smile on. In reality, they hire people who aren't capable or are completely foolish. Even the employees they hire are disrespectful, rude and arrogant (HOW? You work for a fast food restaurant...). They walk ALL OVER the managers. But of course, this isn't apparent to District Managers because they all put fake smiles on and get the job done when the District Manager is in their store. The managers have no problem yelling at you in front of everyone and embarrassing you. They train you incorrectly just to blame you! I've seen this happen to MULTIPLE people. No wonder their turn over rate is high.
