You will hate yourself
Pros: Co-workers, for the most part were pleasant and felt the same way about the job you did. If you've never had a job before the change of pace might be enjoyable for the first few weeks.
Cons: Pay is awful, corporate is awful, customers are loathsome, unbearably claustrophobic and uncomfortable (imagine fitting 10 people in an 80°F extremely narrow stairwell for 8 hours), always filthy, the ever present smell of fried food is maddening, very easy to gain lots of weight while employed there, work can be very fast paced yet boring at the same time, you are given no freedom (basically just stand there in one place and do your job, and don't even think about peeking at your phone), constantly expected to work to your limit even when there's nothing to do ("if there's time to lean there's time to clean"), you're only given one break even during long shifts and you're not allowed to take five just to sit down for a moment, while most fellow employees are decent there's always one or two on duty that ruin it for everyone, some managers will get mad at you for having a friendly conversation with your co worker, no matter how hard you try 90% of the customers you serve will hate you because they are generally very bitter people, and the more you put up with it the more bitter you will become.
