Pros

-Free food on lunch break -Nice employees (sometimes)

Cons

-No standard training (So you don't learn how to do most things til later on) -They told me it was a serving/cashier job (I had no idea I had to clean the bathrooms too) -Not enough employees -Hard to ring up customers while cleaning tables and serving food -Have to do MANY things at a time -Get yelled at for everything, even when its not your fault -You have the stress of making sure you count the right amount of money in cash register -it's hard to one thing right cos there's 500 other things you have to do.

Pros

One free meal per 6+ hr shift, 20% discount for friends/family, food tastes good and is regularly monitored to keep fresh, environment is fast paced with endless duties so you'll never get bored, frequent raises for an entry-level job.

Cons

Standard uncomfortable fast-food uniform, you feel gross at the end after working with greasy food all day, fast paced in kitchen environment so you're often vulnerable to injuries, food is very unhealthy, obviously no career growth on food service jobs.
