Pros

Great co-workers to be with when I was working there

Cons

Never allowed scheduled lunch breaks, was expected to do a job of 5 employees while working the front and drive-thru by myself, so much overload of work and when would be offered manager position would always be taken from the owner and given to someone that already was since they didn't want to pay more, had to fight for my pay over a year from becoming assistant manager till they finally approved it but didn't want to do a pay back for all the time I did because "there was no proof"
