Pros

Good management training and great foundation to build upon a management career. Ten hour shifts five days a week. Good work to personal life balance.

Cons

The people that come in and some of the staff you have to work with can be very draining.

Pros

Good friends were made. That's all.

Cons

The money was horrible, the management was even worse. They do not value their employees. They listen to known liars instead of listening to the employees. They talk down to the employees. They made me pick up cigarette butts in the rain and scrub the bathroom drains with a toothbrush. They make the servers do the dishes on server wages. The managers are all on power trips.
