Employment status: current
Experience level: Junior

A good job to develop you as a person and gain some essential life skills
Pros: Good promotion opportunities if you're at the right store
Employee discounts
Flexible working hours
Friends you meet whilst working
Not boring
Cons: Depending what store you work in and who the franchisee is, it can be very demoralising at times
Long 9 hour shifts often
Not enough recognition (again, store dependent)
Monotonous jobs - eg. serving... almost like a robot. You go to sleep at night whilst doing the job in your head
Not a great work-life balance due to having to work Saturdays (unless you have a good reason why you can't) and shifts like 12-9
