Pros

-Pretty good pay $8.50 an hour + overtime pay (but overtime pay really isn't all that) -Bonus checks that come in from time to time if the store is running pretty well -The people there are amazing to work with

Cons

-The more overtime you have, the more they cut off from your check -Very demanding job -Sometimes they schedule you for a lot of days and you get tired because the work is pretty rough, plus long hours -Always short on staff

Pros

Worked here through high school. Easy restaurant work except for the dishwasher. The sauces get stuck to the trays and you pretty much need boiling water to take off dry sauce off the tray! Went from fried rice/chow mein/dishwasher to prep and main cook. As the main cook, you will be making everything on the menu except fried rice and chow mein and spring rolls/veggie rolls. Very fast pace during lunch hour and drive through is always busy! Our boss also gave us coins from the year of the chinese calender.

Cons

Restaurant pay. When done with shift, you will smell like oil/orange chicken. The aprons are provided but they always have a funky smell.
