Not a great place to work and make a career out of
Pros: I got paid more (a little) because I have a Bachelor's degree from Eastern Michigan University but I didn't spend all those years and time and money for this but the store I worked at had a policy where every six months or so you get an employee evaluation review  and are eligible for a raise, so once you are there long enough you might get a raise, but don't expect it to be that big.

Meal discounts, currently our manager is doing a special promotion where if someone uses our name in a survey taken at the website on the customers receipt you get a free meal.  She told me I could even do survey's for myself to get myself free meals if I want but this might not last forever.

Flexible hours and schedule, understanding if you have school, will hire minors, sympathetic and understanding to people without transportation-will hire people who walk, ride bikes, take the bus, uber/lyft/get rides from friends family etc basically if you don't have a car and/or can't drive even if you are an adult they will still hire you as long as you are dependable and get to work every day!
Cons: Pay is pretty low.  I make more than a lot of my coworkers because my degree but I still only make $10 an hour paying $730 in rent plus utilities and student loans every month and I barely make ends meet.

Customers can be rude and cruel and horrible and the management and coworkers can yell and be mean and rude and disrespectful too and take their anger out on you even if you did nothing wrong.

It can get VERY busy and hectic and sometimes you don't have anyone to help you and have to do the work of several people and several different jobs at once and when you can't meet the demand of all the customers and orders everyone from the customers and the management will take it out on you even if it's not your fault.
