The Bad Outweighs The Good
Pros: You get a 30 minute break and can eat a medium sized meal if you work more than 4 hours as long as the managers remember. You can ask for a small sized drink when you are thirsty. Most of the people who work in the kitchen and in cleaning are very nice.
Cons: Promised a raise (even when highly recommended by a corporate manager) early on in my time there. I never got my raise until the very end of my time there. Management is bad most days (really depends who's there). There are a few people who are very nice. Depending on how the amount of people working there, you are either doing busy work and asked to the same tedious things numerous of times or doing many things at once like working drive thru, running out orders to vehicles, and making drinks and ice cream. I applied there and requested to work 4-5 times a week for at least 4 hours each day. I was barely given hours for the rest of my time there. I had numerous weeks where I was scheduled to work one or two days a week for maybe an hour to an hour and a half. For orientation/training, there was minimal information on what to do given in those videos and lectures. Nearly all your training is on the job training which sucks when you're starting to learn how to operate certain machines and handle the POS system for the first time and you get yelled at instead of taught to avoid that ever again. Some managers really didn't do their job. Some were on their phones going through their social media or having conversations with their friends causing a halt in productivity. That type of stuff should be saved for break time. They were hypocritical of those who would do the same which really sets a bad example for the restaurant. Favoritism is clearly shown which affects productivity levels as well. Some of the people who have been working there a long time have a nasty attitude when you ask for help. Also, same with any job, you are bound to get yelled at by the customers, fellow crew members, and management when it wasn't your fault.
