Mcdonalds
Pros: Its a good first job, and teaches you time management as well as to work in a fast pace.  Meet and interact with a lot of different people.  Easy to pick up extra hours. Free food during shifts, half priced if you aren't working.
Cons: Management could care less about you if you're not at work.  I tried to call in sick once and they told me that I had to come in (Note that I was 17 and didn't realize that they couldn't do that).  Many people call in because they are a bunch of high schoolers who don't care about their job, and leave you short handed.  Customers don't care if you are the only one running the front end; they are rude and only care about getting their food in under 2 minutes.  Management is corrupt (at least in the district I was in) and if you made an anonymous complaint about the GM treating people unfairly then it would go to the district manager and right back to the GM.  In turn, you would be "punished" with minimal hours.  Cant report that because its a viscous circle.
