Pros

-Flexible scheduling -Part time or full time (in some places) -Bonus checks for scoring perfect on secret shoppers -Free food for lunch -Cash tips in addition to hourly wage -Free uniforms and hats

Cons

-Minimum wage -Little to no pay raises (been there almost three years i've gotten 50 cents, which was all in the first year) -No opportunities for advancement (three tiers: crew member, gray shirt, store manager) -7 hour shifts (have to work six days a week just to get 40 hours) -Communication between District Managers and stores is poor. Crew will be reprimanded for doing things that had been changed and we were never notified. -Some corporate practices make no sense but questioning them does nothing but get you in trouble.

Pros

Many of the workers were around my age (18, high school students), very energetic, and everyone seemed to get along very well.

Cons

Loud, messy, and very hectic all the time. Music was very loud at all times, so it was difficult to hear the customers.

Pros

Decent growth opportunity with a growing company. Good training and development for hourly employees to move up. Very outgoing atmosphere.

Cons

The franchise that I worked for was terrible. They believe in a negative reinforcement of issues and I had a hard time getting some time off when my son was born.
