Pros
- coworkers. can't speak for everyone but there were a great deal of coworkers who were supportive and helped lessen the amount of stress on the job. - was rather fulfilling at first, for what it was - time went by fast, never had a "slow" shift - half off food and drink discounts were nice
Cons
- incredibly stressful - understaffed - strangely uneven staffing - Morning shifts would have three, or even four cashiers if a manager jumped in, but afternoons either had one or two, and overnights always had one person. Kitchen was worse- two people max in the morning, and one person max in the afternoon and overnights. I would watch a new hire be alone in the kitchen and slammed with order after order, and could hardly have the time to jump in and help before I was slammed with customers up front because I was the only one on a late afternoon shift. - No cohesion in management: certain people in management would shift between insisting they were training new hires, and then other managers would insist they- the employees- would train new hires. The entire time I was there, I was being told one thing by one manager, and then something else by another, and then I would get blamed for not doing what Manager X or Y said. not all managers were awful, but the lack of cohesion did help sour my time there. - Turnover: it's a gas station job. some people came for one shift and we never saw them again. be prepared for that if you plan to work there.
