      Pros

      Learned a lot about tending bar. Training and certifications provided. Tips, busy shifts, discount on meals. No other "pros" to report.

      Cons

      Long hours. 10-12+ hours on your feet. Never knowing how long your shift will be. Working with coworkers that have little to no responsibility to do their job or even come to work. Terrible management. Several instances where management and coworkers were involved. Favoritism. Drug use and foul verbal language spoken by management to employees. Relentless stress and responsibilities without adequate pay. Working in frigid below freezing temperature when doing weekly inventory. Foul and disgusting unsanitary conditions when closing. Snowball effect from upper management. No raises or pay increases when paid hourly.
