Pros

You may be placed on one of the easy stations. You can get as many hours as you want, you simply just show up for work hours before you are scheduled, they will find a place for you. Very fun, outgoing co-workers. The best out of the 3 jobs I have had, truly a fun environment, managers have a sense of humor.

Cons

I would like to know exactly what the managers in this store do. Why are there 4 on the floor at anyone one time? If you get put on one of the harder stations, expect to work your touchie off as the other half of the cook line stands around doing little no nothing. If anyone decides to be friendly and help you out, half of the time they will be corrected by management and sent back to their station, to stand around. NOW HIRING!!! There is a reason they are always hiring.
