Pros

Friendly coworkers. Moving into upper management is easy. Flexible schedule. There is always something to do.

Cons

Favoritism. Lack of communication from other managers. No raise in 2 years. No benefits or payed vacation. No store manager or opportunity for other managers move up eventhough they are qualified. Other managers don't know what they are doing and don't follow health/sanitation rules (ex. Raw chicken next to biscuits because they ordered too much) therefore I had to correct their mistakes constantly.

Pros

Provided lots of hours. Simple work, easy to pick up and learn.

Cons

Customers can be rude, so get used to that. Understaffing to save on money is expected. Was expected to lie to customers to upsell and increase sales (i.e.; no small cup, only large cups for sides)

Pros

Free food is really the best thing

Cons

The fact that 3 employees and a manager walked out during a 100° day due to no AC is what made them finally fix it was very sad
