Ok to get one through college.

Pros

Anyone with half a brain could do the work and get a promotion if they get in good with management.

Cons

The management treats workers like idiots and the working conditions are gross. There was a growing bug problem at my location but the franchisees did nothing to rid them. Raises are extremely hard to come by if you do not get a promotion. The owners only care about pocketing as much as they can while trying to brainwash its employees into thinking they can't afford to pay them more or provide healthcare. Management turnover is high due to them being treated badly and receiving low pay. There is also the stigma of being a fast food worker.

Pros

Training was very good. Thorough and professional. The training team really took pride in developing their managers so that they would be very effective when they were assigned to a particular restaurant.

Cons

This company's above store management does not have a clue when it comes to people management. Five years with no formal evaluation of job performance or pay increase. Never a thank you or realistic/obtainable goal set. Motivation was fear driven. Praising and showing appreciation for the caliber of people they employed for the wages offered was terrible. The facilities were worn down and basic air conditioning in most restaurants severely lacking.

Pros

Easy to be hired and also fast. Even better if you know someone who already works there. It would be an even faster process. Also you get free chicken.

Cons

Also busy. Management is a joke. Management really don't know how to do their jobs so its based on you to perform the way you think is he best.
