Pros

Benefits are awesome, free $5 meals every day, flexible uniforms (most times, managers may let you wear jackets, hats, different shirts etc). Everything is easy and can actually be really fun sometimes :)

Cons

It's fast food service. Customers can be very rude and rush hours can be stressful at times.
