Experience depends on the people you work with
Pros: There are no financial benefits to working here. I only got a 10 cent raise in the whole two years I was working there, and I can assure you that I was a good employee. That being said, the people you interact with every day (both employees and customers) can make or break the experience. I happened to have a fantastic set of coworkers, so it was always enjoyable. Of course there were some pretty bad customers--people who felt like they didn't need to respect me because I was a fast food employee, meaning I was beneath them--but there were also some amazing ones who made my day every time they came in, and I could tell I made theirs too.
Cons: It's pretty stressful, especially if you work in the drive-thru during lunch, but it's doable.
