Pros

Almost guaranteed employment when you apply and also free food when you work a closing shift but otherwise it's all half price which is good but it's crap food so....

Cons

Disgusting workplace, really bad pay for hard work. The whole kitchen is covered in a layer of grease and I felt sick from the smell of the horrible foods coming out of the kitchen. Really busy shifts and the managers don't do anything they just sit in their cubicle eating mcnuggets
