Pros

Super flexible scheduling. Shifts are relatively short. If your store has a small staff you can get a decent amount of hours for part time (I'm averaging almost 30 hours a week).

Cons

Your customers will probably be idiots and will always ask if the footlongs are $5 and then not understand when you tell them only a few are all the time but there are certain months where they're all $5. Limited training for management positions and your job doesn't really change at all when you do get promoted. Having a shift that starts at 6:30am for a fast food job. Inspectors are stupidly nit-picky. District manager literally does not do her job. You tell her your store needs something fixed and she just tells you how bad things are at the other stores without telling you if or when it will be fixed. Overall you'll probably end up hating your job.

Pros

Very flexible scheduling, especially if your manager is willing to work around all their employees. You usually get a 50% discount that you can use once a day too.

Cons

Direct district management at this location does not know how to manage people. He will not really do anything to help or assist until his supervisors look into his stores and what he does. He will shift blame onto any general manager he can, and if any district manager decides you are doing your job incorrectly or you need to adjust what you are doing, there will be little to no support in helping you become a better employee. It really can become a "popularity contest" when you work in store management. If you are a regular employee or shift lead, you won't really have any direct contact with district management.
