Good pay, good opportunities for growth. Also, you get bonuses as a manager depending on how well you run the store.

No life! Since I've been here I have not had time for myself. Very demanding job. Expect to spend most of your hours here. Haven't had one holiday off.

Pros

You will make friends. Even if you all bond over what you hate about the job, the people who work there are def great.

Cons

They brag about paying their employees so much more than other fast-food restaurants but its def not worth the crap. They emphasize education but don't try to work around class and study time.
