- Treat employees like cattle - Spanish is spoken as the first language between employees - Horrible pay - Manager took very aggressive approach when I quit and started with threats against using her as a reference

Pros

Flexible hours, free chicken sandwiches, close to bus-line, time goes fast because it is so busy, job is very easy.

Cons

Go home smelling like fat, customers are rude and borderline violent at times, very low pay, no chances to advance.
