Pros
Get paid a couple bucks over minimum wage + nice store location, I guess.
Cons
Manager has a history of racism, ableism, lying, abuse, and many other issues. Some other PIC have the same issues. New employees aren't properly trained, if at all. Promises of promotion are never followed through with, but they will still make you do the work as if you have been promoted. Injuries and health are not taken seriously, often encouraging employees to come in or continue working, even when incredibly sick. Many employees have had issues with lack of consistent scheduling. Time off requests that have been approved of months in advance can (and have been) suddenly retracted and denied days before said date without valid reason. Many employees don't work at this location for longer than a couple of months due to the issues, resulting in lack of consistency. When applying, they advertise full time and benefits, but when hired refuse to give anyone full time. Absolutely no work/life balance. I am so incredibly traumatized from what I went through working at this location I am unable to safely work in a public environment anymore without my health being put at extreme risk.

Pros
The job is super simple. Essentially you are just serving food and then making sure the food stays fresh and replace it when it’s old or low. I recommend going for a morning shift because they do less but with the same pay.
Cons
The dishes are very sharp and my store rarely had good gloves. The amount of times my hands have been cut up from working night shift.
