Fast Food Management!?!? I used to say that too.

Pros

The bosses and the systems. Hands down. Been in restaurant management (full service and fine dining) over 20 years and I have learned more from Taco Bell ASL's and HR than I ever have. Didn't happen at day one. You have to be committed, open to feedback and coaching, willing to improve. If you have pride, integrity, and a good work ethic they will do whatever it takes to help you succeed. Great pay, a lot of "easy" bonus money out there if you deliver consistent results. Great work life balance if you know how to "work smart". Very big on HR integrity issues, and great job security if you give even 50%.

Cons

Great job security even if you give 50%. No active bench, so we hold on to the bottom 10% much longer than we should. Which shouldn't be a con, because as long as the majority achieves average results, there is little competition for top spots.

Pros

Free food. And our store is in the mall so if you get to know other mall employees you can get discounts.

Annoying customers, low pay, nasty smell
