Pros

Easy money, flexible shifts, and sometimes you get some quality people.

Cons

Depending on your store raises don't come easy or often, and management has tendency to show favoritism to others expecting you to pick up the slack.

Pros

You're almost constantly busy, there's always something to be done (which I prefer). Most locations have flexible scheduling, relaxed managers/shift leads & have room for growth within the company. It's fun, you learn a lot of random food facts working there. One free meal a day. At the store I worked, the crew became my second family. Great opportunity. Start at minimum wage, but if you have experience, sometimes you get a little more. It's not HARD work, it's just a lot of things that need done.

Cons

District & Regional management/Corporate is a little out of line. Salary positions required to work AT LEAST 50 hours/week, which is unreal for the "benefits" they receive. Work life balance for them is a no go. Corporate rules & "secret shop incentives" change a lot. Quarterly audits were annoying only because the in store management would lose their heads thinking they would lose their jobs if they got under a 97. They're ridiculous when it comes to labor percentages, which I understand, it's money, but you can't expect to keep an employee if you send them home hours early daily.
