Pros

This is a great place to gain valuable business experience and get promoted rather quickly if you do a good job. Even if you don't plan on working in the fast food business for the rest of your life, I would highly recommend it as a first job in high school or to help pay for college. If you are a fast paced, energetic, detail-oriented person who thrives in a friendly environment than this also is the place for you. Employees get good discounts on food and managers eat for free! The management team is good to work for as well and that means alot in any job.

Cons

Probably the worst thing about working at Taco Bell or any other fast food restaurant for that matter is that you will smell bad when you go home and you will be using the Febreeze bottle daily in your car. If you don't like messing with customers or acting friendly than I would not recommend this job for you either. The pay can be low if your an adult trying to care for a family, but if you work hard you can be promoted to management in no time. Honestly there are more upsides to this job than downsides, so how many jobs can you say that about?
