Pros

the only pros are the fact that they actually gave me a job

Cons

I wear a bracelet that is from my religion, and I cannot take it off because it is bad luck; it can only come off naturally, and my managers told me I had to get a note from a prophet saying I could wear it, and they tried to cut it off of me without my permission. Also, also is this the military or fast food? You can't miss a day of shaving or you have to wear a beard net, and I guess this only applies to employees, as I see my manager making burgers with more hair on his face than me. I come back the next day ready to work with my face shaved, and they still tell me to wear one because I "missed a spot" and I kept my mustache. been wearing a face mask ever since, while my manager continues to have his full beard. Once, after a big rush, I went to get a drink of water, and my manager yelled at me to "stop leaning." That was the most degrading thing I have ever heard. I don't mean to sound like a petty person, but how are you going to tell me not to drink water as if I don't need that stuff to live? I could go on for days and days, trusting this is just the beginning of this hell hole.

Pros

At the Kingsfield and Highway 29 Location, I found that the people I worked with made it worth it. The rush hours were sometimes quite fun when everyone was flowing well. Pay raises are yearly with your annual review. They encourage moving up in the company.

Cons

Customer Service can be terrible for your mental health. I received a 20-cent pay raise, though it was for one year.
