A roller-coaster of experiences...
Pros: More willing to take chances on new hires.

There's a clear path to promotion.

Scheduling tends to be very flexible for current-students.

They provide health care for employees who are interested as well as other financial benefits.
Cons: Store management can be disorganized.

Shift management can be highly demanding depending on your store's location. For example, being right across the street from a major university while also being down the street from a major party district in a college town can lead to some intense shifts.

Employees can be less than cooperative.

Hourly pay, even for management, tends to be on the lower end of the scale.

There is constant pressure to meet food/labor cost.
