Pros

Decent Pay Fast Pace Free Meal Fun

Cons

Favoritism Horrible Management Long Hours but not considered full time (what?) People Promoted who did not deserve it Stay 1 to 2 hours past shift without being asked because they won't count the register so I could leave. Yell at people who stopped moving for a second and do all the work but joke and laugh with the people that don't do anything. Management would get an attitude if they had to train you to do something they only showed you once. I trained people, picked up the slack for a lot of the other employees, stayed late, came early, and still got treated like crap. District manager (I think) one time criticized me about how I count my drawer (I do it correctly AND on time even training people how.) in front of everyone then gave me attitude when I defended myself and the management pulled me aside and told me not to listen to him and that he was an ***hole. Yeah. Get it together. Even though they asked me not to, I quit.
