Pros

I've worked in a handful of quick service restaurants, and Raising Cane's was by far the most sanitary and responsibly ran. Managers very much stated and practiced the importance of food safety practices. As a restaurant with raw chicken as a main ingredient, they're really putting themselves under the microscope of food inspectors, and the location I worked at prided itself on never failing an inspection.

Cons

Most of the cons you would expect for fast food were also happening at Raising Cane's at the time I worked there. The pay was very average for the area, which is to say, not much at all. The opportunities for advancement were also pretty much nonexistent. It's a job where you show up, you do enough to not get fired, and still go home feeling sore and demoralized about your future. The quick service restaurant industry standard mistreatment and lack of concern for employees outside of if they're still marginally alive to show up for their next shift.

Pros

-Fellow peers are often lovely to be around and helpful. -3 of 10 managers at my store are genuinely nice. -Flexible scheduling. -Our regular customers are very nice. -Pay is decent. -Easy work, even when busy. (Although it can be stressful from time to time.

Cons

-Only 50% off meals for crew. -Favoritism of crew members by management is abundant. -Bad hours, they keep shifts short if you aren't favorited. -They rely on the majority of their crew being teenagers and not knowing their rights. -Crew is often refused breaks when upper-management visits. (They will comp meals if you ask, but if you don't they will try to get away without it.) -Certain managers constantly berate and belittle crew members. -Because the company is growing more corporate and profit focused, it is becoming less focused on doing right by the crew and treating them well. -Everything has become more and more about penny-pushing and overzealous metrics. -The company likes to portray themselves as being crew-focused and wanting to support the little guy, but that is not how they actually conduct themselves in the treatment of their team.
