Pros

There is no reason but desperation. I only picked this job after applying absolutely everywhere else I could possibly think of. As the employees are treated like mules, and thus quit fairly often (and abruptly), they are always hiring, and I was working within a few days.

Cons

No respect, dignity, or concept of a living wage. They also play favorites like you wouldn't even believe. The management is laughable, and is made up of not actual managers, but burger-flippers (like I was) who worked their way up through a few years of desperation and brown-nosing. Many of these people could barely even communicate intelligently in English, the only language they spoke, unless they happened to be Hispanic.

Pros

Not to fussy on who they hire and you will easily get past the interview by just saying yes to every question the manager is asking you. Flexible working hours so if your studying and need a part time job this is the place.

Cons

Very hard work for the pay. Abusive customers, If your studying it will leave you exhausted and unable to study.

Pros

It's an easy job, not terribly stressful. Lots of interesting coworkers. Discounted food. Lots of human interaction. Part time and I had relatively flexible scheduling hours, though i am a morning person and did not mind getting up early in the morning to work the morning shift.

Cons

It is an easy job which doesn't require a lot of thought. If you're looking for some thing that will cause you to actually use your brain or engage you, it's not a good choice. Also you smell like hamburger and fries. Plus some of the coworkers can be kind of strang e .
