An OK job while in college

Pros

This job was ok for a minimum wage type of job. There was small amounts of bonus money given and split between all employees on both shifts when 2 100% secret shopper scores were received. Time off was most of the time given.

Cons

No benefits. The company wants its employees to exceed expectations of competitors like In N Out but they don't want to match the pay rate. No one gets 40 hours a week except general manager and sometimes shift supervisors.

Pros

Free meal every time you work. Lots of fun people to work with. Managers are easily accessible and will let you have days off when you need them. Work environment was never too serious.

Cons

They want you to close at least 2 nights a week or they tell you they can't give you hours. There are times that I would work an 8 hour shift and never get a break or even sit down.
