Pros

Flexible schedules, downtime is common, free food

Cons

Poor training, manager hired family members and gave them special treatment, no raises after given numerous new responsibilities, food care was very poor (ex. botching the food temps which the manager teaches everyone to do, not wearing gloves when handling food from numerous employees), can't give any compensation for bad orders to customers which was often because of everyone quitting and constantly having new people

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.
