Pros

Some coworkers are nice Make kids smile Tips if you’re a hostess

Cons

There are so many of them Very hot and smelly Chuck e costume they make you wear They’re unorganized Bad management They use your hours to threaten you if you ever make the slightest mistake They hate giving raises so they’ll make fake positions like party coordinator to make people feel entitled for the same pay They don’t give you free food just a 20% discount no matter how long you’ve worked there Some managers legit stay on their phone a whole shift The managers that do actually do work expect you to get everything done in 5 minutes which they can’t even do themselves

Pros

-They give you free food up to $30 -The benefits are fairly decent -High mileage pay for traveling -Lots of diversity and inclusion

Cons

-The worst upper management you’ll ever work for. Constant micromanaging. Sets unrealistic expectations with zero support or assistance. All while they take long vacations. -Preach “company standard” but flip flop on every decision with no notice -Constant labor crunch. Expects miracles with ~3 people on shift. -Will have to work out of your area with no added pay -Training is hit or miss. If you don’t speak up immediately about something you weren’t taught, they will blame you. -If salaried, will probably have to work over 40hrs will no additional incentive -Customers above all else. They are rewarded for complaints and you will definitely be punished. -Heavy AI usage. Even in biased customer surveys that will count against you.
