Pros

Easy summer job, pay is what you'd expect. They're cool with you taking a break every once in a while, too, so it's pretty laid back. And, if your manager is awesome, you can have some free food.

Cons

Customers can be very rude. Everyone seems to assume you're some high school drop-out, and so they can be very condescending. Also, drive-thrus tend to have microphones in dire need of replacement. You'll occasionally have that one coworker who just doesn't give a rat's and messes up the entire service process.

Pros

Good first job but don't stay for more than 2 years unless you get promoted to a manager.

Cons

Job has low pay. Won't give you raises unless they promote you, you are treated the same as a new hire even if you have 2 years of experience. Crew members have no say in anything, they claim when you become a crew trainer your opinion matters.
