Pros

People I worked with felt like family. After working for about 4 years there as a cashier/dining attendant and night closer, I was finally (after about 2 years) promoted to a front supervisor. I made $6/hr and went to $8/hr for the supervisor position. They were really flexible with me, I was able to call them if I was backed up on homework to change around shifts and I came back from college for holidays and would work a few days at a time.

Cons

I felt that putting in my hard work after 4 years of service, I should have been paid a bit better. Normally, I wouldn't feel this way but you found hearing through the grapevine that new employees who were related to management or more attractive were set up in a supervisor position right when they walked in the door, and paid far more than you. It was very disappointing; many employees ranted to management with nothing done about it. (One employee who worked there many more years who had never been promoted ranted to them and threatened to leave if they didn't do anything...she had to walk out the door and come back in after about 2 weeks for them to catch on and do something) Management eventually got kicked around by new management who put some not very HR friendly views onto our staff (a bit sexist and racist). I had complained (once with tears in my eyes after something a manager did) and it seemed like he just got a slap on the wrist for degrading me. This is essentially why I left. Procedures would change just as fast as the people walking in and out of our doors. Everybody in management always wanted to change something and make it their own. Bottom line, this place was overall a good experience.This was a small town job and I expected there to be a lot of "tipping the scales" so-to-speak. Anywhere else in a bigger city would have probably been a 10/10! This company is good!

Pros

Flexible hours. On the job training. Generally supportive co-workers.

Cons

Not safe for those on the autism spectrum, are otherwise neurodivergent. Consistent bullying from a team trainer - refusal to actually train me, constant undermining of my ability, passive aggressive comments, refusal to communicate even the most basic of information to me. This was communicated to management very soon after I started working but nothing changed in the entire year after. I worked with one employee with a seizure disorder, another employee who had carpel tunnel surgery, and three employees with varying degrees of autism, including me. In all of these cases, they were put into situations where their condition is exacerbated. I saw three seizures happen, two of which were after she gave management a doctor's note indicated she requires a break every single day. The lady with carpal tunnel was put into situations where she was forced to scoop desserts, triggering hand pain. I worked alongside in autistic man who told me he had no training on drive-thru, yet was scheduled there anyway. He was kicked off after making too many mistakes, and the managers on duty became visibly exasperated with him. After this, he told me he plans to quit cause he no longer feels welcome. When these problems were communicated to management, I was told that *I* need to learn how to communicate, and that it's a two-way street. Slow, constant pile-up of responsibilities without the training or pay to reflect it. I received a 10 cent raise in my entire time working there, while I was being expected to come in on my day off and supervise multiple stations with my expertise.
