Pros

Pretty flexible with schedule if you give a week notice. Free meal depending on how many hours you work. Pay for A's on your report card, but only if you work a certain amount of hours a week.

Cons

Rude customers. Have to find something to do even if everything is clean and there aren't any customers. You will be scolded if you are caught without a cleaning utensil if there aren't customers or you haven't been giving a task. Once you close the register, it won't open again. If you make a mistake you have to get a busy manager to come open it for you. You have to beat customers to the register or window if you are cleaning dishes or the lobby--an everyday task. Very fast job, especially for a first job or if your store is close to the interstate. Even if the store is consistently packed, you have to complete your side-tasks. You will have to stay late to complete them, no exceptions. I never left when I was scheduled to. I was asked to close on many occasions when it wasn't my responsibility. They don't really train you, you learn by practice, trial and error, ect.
