      Pros

      - Free food during breaks. - Pay is good, but nothing else.

      Cons

      Everyone is REALLY competitive, policies are insane, and unless you find a decent team everything will be a hassle. They almost act as if they're the only fast-food restaurant in the world lol. Do at your own risk.
