Pros

Flexible hours Easy job Can really leave whenever you want

Cons

Customers The upper management doesn’t listen to their crew Even as just a shift lead they’ll ask you to do assist general manger things, which you’ll have no training for at all.

Business Outlook

Pros

Can get consistent raises if you are recognized as a good employee. If you are able, help the management when they ask for it. The team and management that I had the privilege of working with made the fast food place really fun and enjoyable. I primarily worked the closing shift because I enjoyed the team so much. Everyone needs to do their part and contribute for it to be a pleasant experience. I personally never did stress about the job, it's just tacos.

Cons

To put it bluntly, upper management and my area manager were complete idiots and a disorganized mess. Many of my shift managers agreed with this. Daytime management put nearly all possible blame and expectations on the night crew. Some nights were extremely busy.
