Pros

Extremely flexible hours - A proposed roster was put up 2 weeks in advance so you could cancel shifts completely or exchange for others as well as take on more shifts if you wanted since it's a busy store, trading hours were longer.

Cons

Extremely busy store with multiple rushes throughout the day especially lunch, dinner and late night. Especially after we started doing Uber Eats, a lot of orders everywhere for 6 people on average. Lack of staff - I almost never left on time, would usually leave a couple hours after because they had no one to take over my position. More often than not, I found myself not only taking the orders, doing payment, making drinks but also packing the orders and making the burgers too. Customers - On the regular, we've had big groups of people show up without calling in advance during rush hours and just before closing time. The doors would be locked, the dining room lights will be off, customers will visually see you vacuuming the floor and still knock on the door asking for you to let them in so they can order something. Rude and messy customers with the occasional sexual harassment. Staff room - Our "staff room" is a small corner in the back with half a table, two chairs, a set of hooks on the wall with a computer where they store the supplies, that is also the place where newbies do there first part of orientation. Cleaning - When we did get lucky and had little to no customers, don't think assume you can just relax, the managers will always find you something to clean, I've been asked to climb a ladder and clean the ceiling multiple times. Regardless of how much we clean, the place still looks the same.

Pros

Half off food off and some managers are good.

Cons

They don't give you free meals. For one station they expect you to be at two stations at once both putting in orders and cleaning dishes instead of having one person do one at a time. The female managers can be a bunch of drama queens especially the store manager. Managers sent me home early and I was always the one sent home early even though I was always sent home early. For the store manager if you make any mistakes she will make a big deal about it. They expect you to know how to do a station perfectly even though they only showed you how to do it once and you are pretty much on your own from there and will be viewed as incompetent if you don't get it right away. Reduced my hours without telling me and also sending me home without a explanation for both hours and sending me home. There is no consistent pay day so depending on your bank you will get your money at different times compared to your co-workers. I did not have this problem for McDonald's For a job while in school do not work here unless you have no other options for employment. In some cases it is better to be unemployed and look to work for other companies then deal with this excessive level of nonsense and there are some other stuff I have not mentioned but I don't want to drag it out. The only reason why I rate this 2 stars instead of 1 is because at least to my knowledge they did not do anything illegal.
