Pros

For the most part there was always a fast paced work environment. You had a lot of customer interaction, especially with out of town customers. You also received a lot of free food.

Cons

The management was for the most part not very competent. Also it is very hard to obtain an increase in salary even if you had been there over a year. If you were cashier and for some reason your drawer was short, even if it wasn't your fault, you were required to pay it yourself.

Pros

Good pay, if there aren't too many drivers, and you're at a good place for lunch, you can expect to make around $50 in tips per day or more, and get reimbursed for mileage. The people there can be hit or miss, some people can be very fun to work with and responsible.

Cons

The upper management can be lead with too many sensitive women, who don't know how to diagnose situations properly, and take the side of the immature employees who get offended way too easily. The co-workers can be very young and irresponsible, but this is par for the course for food places if you don't have strong leadership.
