Okay first time job for a high school student
Pros: The people that worked there were relatively decent and some willing to help. 
I can't say there are a lot of pros to working here other than I was making money as a poor high school student about to go to college.
Cons: My managers were absolutely awful people that didn't care about their employees at all. The only time I ever saw general concern for an employee was when they were under 18 and legally not allowed to consecutively work more than 4 hours at a time....so that concern was more for themselves then the actual employee. I was made to stand outside during midday in the central Florida heat (about 95 degrees, 100% humidity) in all black, heavy clothing to take orders. The entire process was totally unnecessary in the first place, but they made me stand out there for over 90 minutes. This was because I was the only young person under 40 working midday. I was so overheated that I had to take a break and drink an entire liter of Gatorade. 
This was just one small example of the ridiculous things they made me do because I was one of the younger people working there.
The pay is also terrible for how I was treated and the manual labor I was doing. There were a lot of times we were under-staffed and I was simultaneously yelled at by management and customers for things that were completely out of my control, such as how fast the food was being cooked. I was behind the cash register, not the grill.
