Pros

The company is extremely interested in growing its employees and offers a variety of ways to do so. Catering Captain for marketing, management opportunities on the business end, and lots of charity and fundraiser work as well. My manager also started me a dollar higher in pay because of all my previous food and restaurant experience. Lots of procedures and guidelines for consistency and quality.

Cons

Regardless of what the company has to offer, it's still fast food. Unless you are specifically interested in making a career of food service, this is simply a stepping stone job.

Pros

Pay is above minimum wage, performance bonuses are also possible. While working on shift, you are offered free meals instead of having to pay using your discount. In addition, you can also use a discount outside of work.

Cons

Earning over 40 hours in a week is extremely rare, advancement can be somewhat difficult, and upper management routinely is shifted around (which I think was/is protocol).
