Business Outlook

Pros

-Free shift meal -Other staff can be fun to work with -Easy to move up to a point, then you hit a dead end (around assistant manager after a year or so of work)

Cons

-Management (in my experience) is extremely unqualified -Corporate policies extremely strict -Extremely poor treatment of employees, you are a replaceable cog in a machine -Management extremely elitist (we've been doing this for 5 years, we know what we're doing [as they drive the restaurant into the ground]. Relax, you flip burgers for a living) -Amazing amount of work for how little you are paid
