Pros

It's a job that anyone can get, as long as they can look presentable.

Cons

Jimmy expects 20% profit from corporate stores. You have to work a minimum of 8 consecutive hours in order to receive a free sandwich with chips and a drink; otherwise you have to pay for anything you want to eat. Delivery drivers are not compensated very well. Also Jimmy has told his managers to NOT hire "Mexicans because they will throw away the unsliced ham then grab it from the trash after work to take home to feed their families"; and that if they have any Mexicans working for them to fire said Mexicans.

Pros

1. Short term 2. Food. (Free depending) 3. Good placeholder until you find something better. 4. Most barely do anything and/or cause problems and drama, most get away with that sort of thing. Usually barely get reprimand, but if so its a slap on the wrist.

Cons

1. Management doesn't listen. 2. Disrespectful. 3. Area Managers can call you a waste when you refuse to do something you have no shift for. 4. They really don't care, you can ask for help and talk but you get nowhere. 5. The HR is a nightmare. They don't do their jobs and are horrendously slow at anything, talking to them lasts for weeks of going nowhere. 6. Area managers are not helpful. When discussing problems they contribute to making management worse. 7. Favoritism is through the roof.
