Pros

Not a very difficult job, definitely not rocket science.

Cons

Getting shifts can be difficult. The only ways to make a lot of tips money is to work during the weekday nights and working doubles.

Pros

The job itself didn't require much skill and got to work with some great friends. I also got raises fairly quickly.

Cons

Working in a food service job sucks. The hours suck. The work sucks. A lot of the time the people suck. Also working for a corporation means that you have to jump through hoops and play stupid little games to actually get anything accomplished.
