Business Outlook

Pros

Free food (occasionally) if certain managers aren't breathing down your neck

Cons

Favoritism from Gm given to the under aged girls in high school. The current General manager hires his friends and let's them do whatever they want and basically get a free check. He let's his bestfriend steal regularly from the store when freshly stocked,and his gf sleeps her entire shift in the lobby(literally a free check). Puts all stress on morning shift to do and prep EVERYTHING! No one else preps but morning shift,meaning lunch and overnight don't do anything even if they run out of stuff they just lie to customers and say they ran out when actually they're too lazy to make it themselves. Another manager has had sex with a minor in the freezer multiple times!!!
