Pros

The pay is okay compares to other fast food establishments, the hours aren't bad, and there is some flexibility in your schedule.

Cons

The work itself is kind of disgusting, there's always the chance that you can get a nasty burn from hot grease, and sometimes it is really,really packed.

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.
