5 Months In... Looking for a new job already
Pros: Some of the coworkers are fun to chat with during quiet times. Free meal during break. Getting hours isn't difficult.
Cons: Absolutely insane schedule layouts. One day you could be working from 3-11 and another you could be doing 5-9:35. Minimum wage pay. Managers can be dreadful people to be around, they make you want to walk out the door. Being everyone's errand boy; you'll be doing your assigned position, then someone will tell you to stock sauces, and then another manager will tell you to clean the fry hopper, and you'll get scolded for not doing your original task by both of the managers. Highly imbalanced workloads. I've had to have front counter all to myself at times, meaning I took orders and ran food by myself with a line out the door. Drive-thru, on the other hand, has 3 people who do squat to help you out. It seems the new crew members don't do jack while you have the pleasure of doing everything for everyone else. Impatient customers. I was unemployed and living at home for 6 months after I had left my old job, and I would much rather be home NOT making money than going into this horrible restaurant.
