Pros

They pay minimum wage, and recently they even pay you for overtime.

Cons

This was my first job which I took over the summer as a high schooler, and I was totally taken advantage of. They worked me the maximum number of hours you could as a minor, 7 hours a day 5 days a week past sunset, just below what could be considered part-time. I was told it was normal that I couldn't choose my hours and I went along with it because I didn't know any better. Management was all about chastising without offering solutions, My location recently had a class-action lawsuit because they weren't compensating employees for overtime. On DAY ONE I was asked to work overtime until closing. Would not recommend unless you can really stand up for yourself, because you're gonna have to.

Pros

Friendly and helpful colleagues, weekly pay and flexible schedule

Cons

When it is busy, it is very busy. Lunch/Break may get pushed back or even denied in extreme cases because there is no one to cover for you.
