      Pros

      They usually hired from within. I was only 22 and was promoted to a salaried manager position. I was the youngest manager in a 30 store franchise. I enjoyed the fast-paced atmosphere. I loved my job.

      Cons

      A 32,000 a year salary working 60 hours a week was excruciating. If another manager did not show up for work, I was expected to cover their shift. It was a lot of work or little pay.

      Fun environment, okay pay, but no promotion or pay raises

      Pros

      In general the environment is fun and co-workers are really great. We work as a team and have fun while we're doing it. Easy to sell your product if you memorized the menu and were personable. Pretty good with getting time off as well.

      Cons

      It isn't easy to get promotions unless you're a favorite and once you do become a server there is nowhere else you can go that's up. Your pay never increases and it can be hard to make money when there are too many servers on the floor or it can get hectic when there aren't enough servers.

      Pros

      - Flexible schedule, which was appealing to me as a student - Free meals when I was training others

      Cons

      - Like most serving jobs, terrible pay (though tips could be all right) - I was frequently sexually harassed by managers and other coworkers - Lots of unpaid side work - No benefits
