Pros

Work was easy to learn for a first time fast food worker like me Nice coworkers Rewarding when customers are happy Fun when managers are happy (or out of the building)...

Cons

Managers don't thoroughly (and in some cases, correctly) train employees. Then when the managers start feeling the heat, they come down on us for not following rules or protocols we were never told about. Have to beg for more information/training from managers and we don't get it unless they feel like it. Will be expected to do two or three peoples worth of work. Have fun being able to keep up with the specials you may or may not be told about. Managers show favoritism. They hire their friends and let them get away with murder.
