Pros

The people are fun to work with, it is a generally good atmosphere. You can make good money if you are willing to work hard and pick up tables.

Cons

The managers are incompetent sometimes. You are clearly only working there to pick up money for the short term. Some of the people you work with are losers.

Cons

upper management says that they want your feedback, but they never listen or change things, way too many standards to follow.
