Easy and Fun job

Business Outlook

Pros

Great flexibility with hours, good for high school or college student, family like environment, endless amounts of food, and fairly nice managers.

Cons

upper management demands a lot but doesn't offer the resources, franchise taco bell's are run to uptight, too much micromanagement going on, no benefits or raises, employes are treated without respect and looked down upon by owners.

Pros

working with people and developing people skills

Cons

Some store managers tend to be rather stabbing. Pay SUCKS. Shift managers are getting on average $8-9.00 per hour, not much more than regular employees. Only real advantage is guaranteed 40 hours a week. The pay SHOULD be at least $3-5.00 more per hour. Some store managers are making over $60K per year, but assistant managers only get $24-25K, shift managers - who do most all of the work get $18K, just does not seem fair or even reasonable.

Minimum wage and lack of enthusiastic co-workers make it hard to enjoy the job.

Business Outlook

Pros

If given the chance to prove yourself, it is easy to move up because you work mainly with teens and people who can't get better jobs.

Cons

I've been in fast food for a long time now and I have found that if the management tends to be comprised of persons who abuse their power as management.
