Pros

Not many pros that come to mind, at least not worthy of mentioning.

Cons

Owner price tags equipment in restaurant so employees know what he spent on them at opening. Owners all live together and have best friend first mentality. General manager never stands up to employees nor has any follow through when taking control. Assistant managers are praised for bullying employees and it is laughed about later in the office. If you are sick in ANY way, (ie: flu, covid, hand foot and mouth, pneumonia...) you are still expected to come to work or be ready to be ostracized. Owner dislikes those with family and outside work responsibilities. They expect you to have zero social life and be dedicated to only them. Assistant manager is constantly talking about her own personal issues with guests in the lobby for long periods of time. As well as she picks her scabs and yells at staff in front of customers. Owner has been known to say "If you can't do the job I am asking of you, you can leave, we don't need you." Allows sexual harassment in the work place with NO discipline towards the offender. There is so much more to list....not enough time.

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.
