Typical Fast Food job: low pay, difficult work, but flexibility and camaraderie made it worth it

Anonymous employee

Pros

-free meals -flexible hours -secret shopper bonuses -restaurant has a straightforward menu, that rarely changes. -training videos

Cons

-wage stays at minimum wage, and only goes up if you're promoted to a shift leader, even then it goes up just slightly. -Any Tips we got were deducted from our paychecks. -the uniform for team members is just a t shirt which can be uncomfortable as an apron need to be worn over it. -Like all fast food jobs, work can get hot and dirty, but that's how it is.
