Pros

free meal, hours, suppose like family,

Cons

too much stress, labor timers to be low, upper management is very rude and ask to have good numbers,no time for lunch, customers are very rude no protection from customers being very violent. Since the Covid 19 started they took very long to protect employees. No gloves or mask available. They expect the employees to clean the whole restaurant. Also some other stores have had some positive employees and they still work with the virus and they react until more employees result positive. They are more focus on labor timers than the emphedemic.
