Pros

The people I work with are cool and I like the music they play in there. Keep pretty busy, time flies by during rush. None of the tasks are unreasonable and everyone there does their whole share in keeping everything clean. No one feels overworked because different people do different things. The boss is pretty fair and doesn't treat us like slaves, he's pretty cool. He comes by to make sure you're focused on tasks but that's pretty much it. You can talk around him and have fun makin sammiches with the other employees and he's fine with it. I like how laid back and fun the atmosphere is - but be aware it's really high-paced. You get faster at making sandwhiches after while. It's also fun to receive comments from customers when we have their sandwhich ready before they're even finished paying for it.

Cons

Low pay, not really alot of opportunity to move up unless you become the PIC, and that's not much of a raise.

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.
