Pros

The responsibilities varied from taking care of transporting heavy boxes full of frozen food to and from the freezer, preparing the dishes, customer service at the counter to cleaning up. There was good food too that you could eat in the breaks and I learned a lot.

Cons

Incredibly stressful work environment, and 10 hours standing and running around really did a number on my health. Unfriendly customers are also part of the deal. Some very unhygienic conditions and old food was mixed with new sometimes and served again.
