Do not even THINK about applying here!
Pros: The only good thing about working there was the 50% off discount towards our meals.
Cons: Don't get me started, there were so many bad points about working in this place:
* Favouritism in the workplace between co-workers, managers, and even the owner!
*Un-paid shifts on too many occasions despite constantly asking to change this
*Management pushing on myself and a couple of others to the extent of it being impossible to complete tasks (due to the ridiculous time limits given)
* Co-workers would pre-judge me for no reason at all (they would talk about me near me aswell)
* Even the owner would stick up for the manager; I reported a manager to them for the disgusting behaviour towards me. What did he do? Told the manager I had reported her and did nothing about it anyway!
*Unbelievable customer service. I received too many complaints from angry customers for something I could not help (ie. the drink machine broke down)
* Stupid expectations to up-sell. I was pushed to up-sell products which were way more expensive than the products the customer was purchasing (eg. Up-selling 20 expensive sundaes per hour, when people only wanted an ice cream cone)
* I was threatened to leave work if I made one more mistake. I made mistakes because there was so much pressure on myself to do things I simply could not do
*I wasn't getting any breaks after 5 (sometimes 6) hours of work. And if I did get a short 10 minute break after 4 hours of work, it wasn't paid
* Wasn't paid for training shifts at another store either

These people are pigs, cowards, clowns. Do NOT even consider working there, I got extremely severe anxiety and depression from allowing this behaviour to continue, and being too scared to actually step up and do something more to stop this happening for good.
