Terrible low level management.
Pros: Flexible schedule if you tell the manager ahead of time, they're basically only part-time so you have plenty of "off" time. Free meal per shift (Delicious fries!). Very easy to get a job here, as they'll hire basically anyone.
Cons: At the franchise I was at, the management didn't tell me when they finally put me on the formal schedule, so I missed a day of work because of that. They were bad communicators. Paid minimum wage. Didn't even give me the shift and work I had applied for. Training was a joke. The free food gets old real fast, as its (obviously) crappy and unhealthy. The managers would force you take your required break at the beginning of your shift, so you essentially had to come in a half hour early to clock in and sit. Then you didn't get a break later, when you were actually tired or overwhelmed. Hugely anti-union. Also, the wouldn't give me time off to go to a funeral, as I had been to a funeral only a week before. Apparently, two people can't die in such a short span of time.
