Pros

Nice co-workers but it's like most other fast food chains, they want you to do everything with barely paying the minimum wage.

Cons

The real issue comes down to rigid management that treats you like a robot rather than a person. There is zero flexibility with scheduling, meaning if something unexpected comes up in your life or you need a shift covered, you're basically on your own to figure it out. It creates a high-turnover environment where you're just a replaceable number on a schedule, leaving you completely burned out. On top of that, tips are strictly not allowed, which hurts your earning potential when you're working that hard. If you're depending on this job for full-time income, the reality is you won't be getting 40 dedicated hours unless you constantly hustle to pick up other people's shifts, meaning unless you're a manager, you better have a second job just to make ends

Pros

-Fellow peers are often lovely to be around and helpful. -3 of 10 managers at my store are genuinely nice. -Flexible scheduling. -Our regular customers are very nice. -Pay is decent. -Easy work, even when busy. (Although it can be stressful from time to time.

Cons

-Only 50% off meals for crew. -Favoritism of crew members by management is abundant. -Bad hours, they keep shifts short if you aren't favorited. -They rely on the majority of their crew being teenagers and not knowing their rights. -Crew is often refused breaks when upper-management visits. (They will comp meals if you ask, but if you don't they will try to get away without it.) -Certain managers constantly berate and belittle crew members. -Because the company is growing more corporate and profit focused, it is becoming less focused on doing right by the crew and treating them well. -Everything has become more and more about penny-pushing and overzealous metrics. -The company likes to portray themselves as being crew-focused and wanting to support the little guy, but that is not how they actually conduct themselves in the treatment of their team.
