Pros

The best part for me is my coworkers, the only reason I look forward to working, is to show up and see my support system. Almost all of them I would consider a friend. So it's a really friendly environment. For Togo, you get decent pay, minimum wage plus whatever you make in tips. But, most people don't know to tip the togo person, but it works out and you usually leave with about $10-$50 in your pocket.

Cons

TERRIBLE MANAGEMENT. The managers never communicate so it's nearly impossible to get a straight answer about anything. Also, there are NO benefits to working here. Besides the 50% off up to $7 and only on certain things that they decide if you should get a discount or not.

Pros

Flexible hours, evenings and weekends to work around f/t day job, variety, fairly easy. Earn tips. Not as much as a server, but helpful considering the wage.

Cons

One of the managers in particular has a fragile ego/insecurities and tends to go on power trips. He takes out his mood on employees. There are also favorites, and if you are not one of them he does not treat you well. Yelling, condescension, snide comments, etc. Some employees have worked there for MANY years and still make the same wage they did when they were hired. Experience, leadership & training needs to be recognized and rewarded.
