Pros
Generally the fellow employees are really friendly, fun and caring. Depending on your area you get some jerks and slackers - but that's people for you. As a Team Member (starter position) it's really not that bad. As long as you have a good attitude, a will to work and listen to your superiors you'll do great! Some days are rougher than others, and it's not all as predictable and easy as everyone thinks fast food is - but it's pretty simple work.
Cons
When staff is short, so is the management's temper. When you have 4 managers trying to share shifts and all are pressured NOT to hit overtime EVER or else.... it's stressful. Some of that flows down to the lesser employees. There's a lot of chatter and rumors amongst the Team Members it seems, and the management usually gets the butt end - and that causes a lot of problems for everyone. If you want to move up, make sure you are somewhere with a good staff otherwise you'll get screwed into rough shifts, never being able to take time off for family or vacation. Heck! I had a doctor's note once, couldn't talk and STILL my boss told me I HAD to manage the overnights. Really?! Well, being me I did it. We worked a couple extras to make up for my not being able to speak and hardly having the energy to work.
