It was a mixed bag of ups and downs.
Pros: Depending on your bosses, you can have a nice yet professional relationship. 
Understanding of personal, professional, and school life and allow the time you need for school and personal life as long as they are told in advanced (just like most other companies) 
Customers are understanding at time.
Cons: One time, on of the higher ups came through drive thru while we were promoting the mozzarella sticks and I skipped asking him if he wanted to try them. I asked the car before and after him, as I saw his car, but he gave his review of the store.  Mostly positive except for the mozzarella sticks. He said to the manager, "Are we not suggesting / selling the mozzarella sticks?"  He could've said it like " The person in drive thru didn't suggest the mozzarella sticks, just remind them to suggest it." But he said it to the manager in a condescending way, which made her angry at me. The rest of my night they were on me like a hawk to make sure I suggested mozzarella sticks with every order. And then every single day, they reminded me about it.  That doesn't help with employee confidence. 
Being over the age of 18, I did almost everything, even some managerial work, but the younger kids who began to work after I did got paid more. I started at $7.45 whole while one of the <18 started at $8, and another at $8.50. I didn't find out until one of my coworkers told me. 
Simply put, management needs to be better at handling certain situations and employee pay and favoritism better.
