Depending on the customers is how the experience is affected. My customers were usually nice and friendly.

Pros

It's an easy job for anyone, fast pace at times, meeting new people, managers do well, and the customers were overall easy to handle.

Cons

The customers can be unreasonable, managers didn't always go by the rules, standing on your feet all the time, and minimum wage.

Pros

They have a quality training program. Intensive. That's the only pro I can think of.

Cons

Constant change of area managers. Hours worked. No quality of life, always expected to have your cell phone on. Ridiculous to meet labor/food cost/survey goals....I could go on and on...
