Experience level: Junior

First job, could be worse!
Pros: + It is extremely easy to get hired, so if you are desperate for a job, this is a good place to apply.
+ You get actual training.
+ At least at my store, there's lots of available hours. If you are dependable, you can expect 30 hours a week or more.
+ Pay starts at $8.25, which is a full dollar above minimum wage in my state. This only counts for corporate stores.
Cons: - Be prepared to deal with nasty, rude, entitled customers all day. This is the biggest con. People are going to take out all of their problems on you because you're a fast food worker. Some people don't even see you as human.
- There's a stigma against working in fast food. Not really a con if you don't care what other people think.
- Standing all day is bad for your body. If you work here long-term, be prepared for chronic medical issues to arise.
- You are easily replaceable, so there is very little job security.
