Pros

Nice co-workers but it's like most other fast food chains, they want you to do everything with barely paying the minimum wage.

Cons

The real issue comes down to rigid management that treats you like a robot rather than a person. There is zero flexibility with scheduling, meaning if something unexpected comes up in your life or you need a shift covered, you're basically on your own to figure it out. It creates a high-turnover environment where you're just a replaceable number on a schedule, leaving you completely burned out. On top of that, tips are strictly not allowed, which hurts your earning potential when you're working that hard. If you're depending on this job for full-time income, the reality is you won't be getting 40 dedicated hours unless you constantly hustle to pick up other people's shifts, meaning unless you're a manager, you better have a second job just to make ends

Pros

Friendly co workers and supportive team in general. Lots of free merch,+1 dollar per hour past 10pm

Cons

No breaks or shift meals, asked you to stay late every shift and got offered Amazon gift cards as extra compensation for various favors like covering late night shifts at another location or coming in early or staying late to deep clean the store, and I never received an Amazon gift card nor did any co worker who was made the same offer.
