Good and bad points
Pros: They supplied me with a uniform free of charge and a couple of the managers were very understanding and appreciative, although usually not at the same time. When I got sick they were understanding.
Cons: No holiday overtime wages due to it being a non-franchised location, much of the staff I worked with during the evenings were young and they had a lot of trouble finding employees willing to work at that location. Highly understaffed. The window service was often rude to the customers, there was a disconnect between employees and most managers. On Christmas we were given an extremely understaffed crew, no holiday pay - just regular hourly, and due to being one of the only fast food places open completely used up and exhausted beyond our means. Our reward was a coupon that expired new years and a santa hat and a cheap computer bag or blanket instead of holiday pay. Many of the managers were very rude, although not all. When I asked to transfer positions I was told it was ok and I never heard from them again. I was hired being told I would crosstrain on all positions but they only kept me working in the kitchen which I could not continue due to health concerns.
