Pros

Home of the 49 cent water cup.

Cons

Everything you are told is a lie. Your compensation/pay, will be a lie, not kidding. If you're told you're getting a raise you aren't. If the owner leaves the country for three weeks and tells you he is paying for you to have a babysitter and you're now working double, its a lie. You are now paying a baby sitter to manage a store for 8.50/hr. Avoid this place. Trust me.

Pros

Good pay, if there aren't too many drivers, and you're at a good place for lunch, you can expect to make around $50 in tips per day or more, and get reimbursed for mileage. The people there can be hit or miss, some people can be very fun to work with and responsible.

Cons

The upper management can be lead with too many sensitive women, who don't know how to diagnose situations properly, and take the side of the immature employees who get offended way too easily. The co-workers can be very young and irresponsible, but this is par for the course for food places if you don't have strong leadership.
