Alluring but not worth it.

Pros

The work is relatively simple because the menu is refined to just burgers and fries. Once you get used to the process of opening and closing it becomes second nature.

Cons

If you work at a store that is not very busy then they will offer you good pay but make you do 3 other employees jobs and expect perfect results. If you make a mistake it is highly frowned upon but it is easy to do so when you have to do a job that requires at least 3 employees by yourself.

Great Food for the $, Not So Great Job

Pros

* Great food for the $ * Learn the basics of food preparation and cooking. * Relatively clean environment (at my location). * Flexible hours in most cases. * Were allowed discounted food during working days.

Cons

* An unprofessional stuck up manager who was completely disinterested in 'lesser' employees and had no interest in communication unless you were a 'buddy'. * Manager and employees who openly discussed their drug use while on the job. (I really don't care what you do on your own time.) * A number of rude and unprofessional employees who had no respect for one another. (one of them thought he would sneakily flip me off without me noticing while I was cooking HIS fries) * Job hierarchy seemed to be determined more by a buddy system than by work ethic. * Little to no job security. * Very small chance of growth in company unless you've got a 4yr+ degree in business.
