Pros

Good pay for a fast food job

Cons

Average benefits. Emotionally abusive work environment. (I do not say that lightly). Almost every team member was screamed at daily for small, honest mistakes. Physically dangerous work environment: GM coerced me into washing dishes upstairs while everyone else took shelter from a tornado in the basement. Almost daily, many employees were expected to stay on the premises without pay in case they “were needed.” Used verbal and emotional intimidation tactics to encourage compliance. Verbally discouraged employees from discussing wages, violating federal law.

Pros

Flexible hours. On the job training. Generally supportive co-workers.

Cons

Not safe for those on the autism spectrum, are otherwise neurodivergent. Consistent bullying from a team trainer - refusal to actually train me, constant undermining of my ability, passive aggressive comments, refusal to communicate even the most basic of information to me. This was communicated to management very soon after I started working but nothing changed in the entire year after. I worked with one employee with a seizure disorder, another employee who had carpel tunnel surgery, and three employees with varying degrees of autism, including me. In all of these cases, they were put into situations where their condition is exacerbated. I saw three seizures happen, two of which were after she gave management a doctor's note indicated she requires a break every single day. The lady with carpal tunnel was put into situations where she was forced to scoop desserts, triggering hand pain. I worked alongside in autistic man who told me he had no training on drive-thru, yet was scheduled there anyway. He was kicked off after making too many mistakes, and the managers on duty became visibly exasperated with him. After this, he told me he plans to quit cause he no longer feels welcome. When these problems were communicated to management, I was told that *I* need to learn how to communicate, and that it's a two-way street. Slow, constant pile-up of responsibilities without the training or pay to reflect it. I received a 10 cent raise in my entire time working there, while I was being expected to come in on my day off and supervise multiple stations with my expertise.
