Pros

There is no reason but desperation. I only picked this job after applying absolutely everywhere else I could possibly think of. As the employees are treated like mules, and thus quit fairly often (and abruptly), they are always hiring, and I was working within a few days.

Cons

No respect, dignity, or concept of a living wage. They also play favorites like you wouldn't even believe. The management is laughable, and is made up of not actual managers, but burger-flippers (like I was) who worked their way up through a few years of desperation and brown-nosing. Many of these people could barely even communicate intelligently in English, the only language they spoke, unless they happened to be Hispanic.

Pros

Good first job but don't stay for more than 2 years unless you get promoted to a manager.

Cons

Job has low pay. Won't give you raises unless they promote you, you are treated the same as a new hire even if you have 2 years of experience. Crew members have no say in anything, they claim when you become a crew trainer your opinion matters.
