A pleasant stay, but not really worth the hassle. You can make good friends there!
Pros: I won't go on about the benefits they give you as an employee because they are their main selling point and as such, found on their website. The main benefit where I worked was the the people who worked with you, they were quite fun to be around, inside and outside of work.
You can work your way up quite quickly if you work full time and put in extra time with the management.
Cons: Where do I start?
They are very poor payers for the amount of work they expect from you (crew member/staff trainer/shift manager) Managers get paid extortionate amounts at the expense of their ground staff for doing 1 million% less work.
Meticulously, intrusive procedures which make preparing and producing the food agonising in busy periods. e.g. you have to use a scoop to serve the nuggets but must use tongs to serve the chicken burgers. However, they are cooked in the same fat and stored in the same holding cabinet.
Focus on cleaning the store at irrelevant/busy intervals. Quick delivery of food would surpass an adequately clean front counter I'm sure.
These are just some.
