Pros

They let you have a free sandwich every day

Cons

The pay was miserable, between $10-14. Anywhere else paid more. FOOD handled by some employees with bare hands behind the scenes sometimes- GROSS! some management act unprofessional. My first manager was okay but when she quit, the new manager, didn't want to take responsibility and pushing all the work on the servers. We didn't have any help and sometimes only one person had to work the whole shift by themself. It was hard because our store was always busy. They made a lot of promises and they seemed so nice at the beginning, then once we were hired, their true colors start to show. I hated working there!
