Pros

The work is relatively simple because the menu is refined to just burgers and fries. Once you get used to the process of opening and closing it becomes second nature.

Cons

If you work at a store that is not very busy then they will offer you good pay but make you do 3 other employees jobs and expect perfect results. If you make a mistake it is highly frowned upon but it is easy to do so when you have to do a job that requires at least 3 employees by yourself.

Pros

They will teach you everything you need to be successful. They have much higher standards than most places, one of the few places I'd have no problem eating at any location. They'll make sure you have everything you need to meet those standards, especially once you get to a management level. They have corporate trainers and the GM at my location was also great. I'm a GM at a different place now and my experience here left me well prepared me for that position.

Cons

Pay. That's the only reason I left, I would have stayed with the company if I could have gotten a raise and I would definitely return if they offered something comparable to what I'm making elsewhere.
