Pros

As far as training goes, they jump you in pretty quickly but I never felt unprepared. My management was pretty lax as long as all the work was done, so it wasn't a stressful situation most of the time (except when it was really busy, when it kicked in high gear) and coworkers could have a lot of fun together if they wanted to. It's not exactly a dream job, but it's cleaner and less stressful than most fast food jobs, and the drive through is actually pretty fun.

Cons

The salary sucks. Raises are rarely given out, and when they are, they're incremental. Closers can get stuck with a lot of cleaning and general hassle that no one else wanted to deal with. Still, they're supposed to have all their work done and be out of there when their hours dictate. They're almost always understaffed. They overestimate what one person can do in their shift when they're alone.

Pros

Very flexible scheduling, especially if your manager is willing to work around all their employees. You usually get a 50% discount that you can use once a day too.

Cons

Direct district management at this location does not know how to manage people. He will not really do anything to help or assist until his supervisors look into his stores and what he does. He will shift blame onto any general manager he can, and if any district manager decides you are doing your job incorrectly or you need to adjust what you are doing, there will be little to no support in helping you become a better employee. It really can become a "popularity contest" when you work in store management. If you are a regular employee or shift lead, you won't really have any direct contact with district management.
