Busy, underpaid work
Pros: Solid introduction to the world of work, opens up opportunities for future job applications. Long lunch breaks and free food. My experience with management has been generally positive. Employees can be enjoyable company.
Cons: Poor pay for what you are expected to know and achieve, very busy, labour intensive work. Often understaffed or overstaffed. Many work stations to master and you often get glued to one or two. Thrown in at the deep end to learn new stations and there aren't enough crew trainers so you are often left to your own devices with a regular employee doing their best to explain it. Covid procedures feel disingenuous and more of an inconvenience. Impossible to socially distance, we are made vulnerable to a deadly virus for the sake of fast food and still get treated poorly by plenty of customers. Often advertising your shift doesn't get acknowledged by management for it to be made publicly available even if applied for weeks ahead, so you won't get the chance to have it advertised and will still have to work the shift.
