      Pros

      The pay is one of the only factors into why anyone would stay. At 18 dollars an hour(currently 04/14/21) , for a workload that varies from location to location, you tend to get comfortable.

      Cons

      Management tends to always be high on the list of cons. You’re stuck trying to climb a ladder that leads to nowhere. Promises are made but never kept. Upper management varies from zone as well. In the west la region, you’re stuck with someone with absolutely none to very slim involvement in the kitchen or current affairs of store. Numbers and reviews are what matter to them and it’s pathetic. What makes an operation run smooth aside from its workers? If working conditions are poor and the workers aren’t being taken care of with the needed equipment and tools for the job, how is the operation supposed to manage ?

      Pros

      It's fast paced, so long shifts aren't that bad, because they go by rather fast. It's not very hard to find something to do even when it's busy. You also get to eat the food during your breaks, which is fun. When it gets really busy, it's actually kind of fun, especially, when you and your coworkers are in tune with each other. It feels like playing a game, so that's cool.

      Cons

      You deal with difficult people sometimes. That comes with any customer service jobs, though. Sometimes the people who are in charge are a little bit strict when it comes to policies and in ways that don't really make sense, sometimes, but just do what they tell you and you'll be fine.
