Good experience!
Pros: It was my first job and I really enjoyed it. I learned a lot and gained more job experience which I needed. I got to know my co-workers and my managers pretty well which made work somewhat easier and enjoyable. Good pay rate, lots of potential to advance, flexible hours, very fast paced, challenging but rewarding, includes worker/student benefits. Always felt productive and busy.
Cons: This is to be expected but it's very tiring. Always on your feet, pretty much never get to sit. Long shifts and usually one break or not at all so I usually had to skip a meal. Must interact with and handle angry, rude, unhappy customers. Lots to learn and tons of multi-tasking which can be overwhelming and stressful. Risk of being short-staffed. No free meals aside from being a job trainer, manager, or to the manager's discretion.
