Pros

Policies. Straightforward with expectaions. Streamlined/fool-proof. Upbeat. Free food and very good for students. Short shifts are easy to get. raises (small, but does help morale).

Cons

Embarrassing uniforms/ goofy hats. Some people might not like dealing with the public and/or children. Can get very noisy. There are rush times that may get stressful for some folks.

Pros

Easy to get hired little responsibility this job is best suited for kids in high school some meal benefits here.

Cons

Pay here is probably on par with the industry. This seems more like a temporary job to get some extra cash while in highschool.

Pros

Great starting job for teenagers. Easy hire, easy advancement, lots of hours and locations to work at. Discounted meals. Flexible schedules.

Cons

Low pay. While it is good to set standards, it seems more like slave labor when the employee is paid a wage that is below the provincial minimum, and yet be expected to do twice as much as more senior staff, with a smile.
