Pros

before working taco bell i had no sense of work ethic, no reason to put effort into making something of my life. I hold myself to a much higher standard now because of the core values i picked up there. I came out of my shy shell and became a great people person, loved working with the guests and making their day better from a laugh to even if it was just a smile and my attention. as well i learned a passion for preparing food, i now only see any career for me being in the food industry always learning, striving for more and always moving forward.

Cons

both locations i worked at just did not seem to have the drama, out of work life problems or respect/ethics under control. while i got along with my co workers most of the time there always seemed to lack the understanding work is work time and professional is how you act. When i transferred locations from being unhappy the new location offered to fast track me to crew train and manager i got the crew train position fairly easily after already having a year in but never made it to manager because the request to be trained hands on and taught to do the job visually was never made. in fact i was expected to know how to run a shift accurately being told where the answers are to skip the videos in my training and just ask questions, take a night and a day shadowing a managers shift and memorize some key points for the RGMs questions. i did not feel like i could take pride and have confidence, maybe learn as i go but not have confidence in my job that way so i never made the move. third problem, i found out after a year and some odd months that i never even received my promotion raise, my review raise i was talked to about or even my yearly.
