Unless it's a first job, it's really not worth it.
Pros: -paid holidays
-you are taught to work hardddd
-you meet some amazing people
-good first job - they take you regardless of experience
-you see all the hard work that goes into running a restaurant/ franchise
-you are paid every two weeks
-free food (a con as well however as you will get fat)
-teaches you to be fast on your feet
-you have a real insight of what goes into the food, after which you probably won't want to eat there again 
-employee discount (EVM's for £2.29 and other meals for £3.29)
-cashback and discount at a range of other stores e.g- amazon, groupon, game, etc
-loads of opportunities for overtime
-all the cleaning, cooking and being nice to hostile customers who you feel to punch has laid the foundations in me of an excellent housewife
-can be fun*

 *depending on the day, weather, your attitude, managers, people on your shift and the custmers
Cons: -you are paid pittance (£4.32 for under 18's, a pound more for over 18's) 
-you work for long hours and are expected to do overtime without your permission
-some (not all) managers are wack af and at one point will sexually harass/ abuse you
-if you can't speak english, some managers may discriminate against you 
-rude customers who expect gourmet food & service from a place that has a saver's menu (although this does teach you how to conduct yourself in 'challenging' situations which is always a good skill)
-8 hour shifts (only a con if you don't like standing)
-if, like me, you care about homeless and starving people in the world, your heart breaks a little -when you see literal tubs of uneaten food being thrown away because the burger box was little dented or twenty minutes had passed and the big mac's got 'old'
-20 minute break in an 8 hour shift
