      Fun work environment, valuable transferrable skills

      Pros

      Fun and upbeat work atmosphere. Worked here part-time throughout undergraduate and made $25K year in tips as a full-time student, but enjoyed enough flexibility in scheduling for variance in availability semester to semester and travel time.

      Cons

      Some seemingly futile corporate policies and cheesy promotions, late hours, lack of guaranteed pay from shift-to-shift and no benefits due to serving salary. Would recommend to students and entry level professionals seeking supplementary weekend income, but not a feasible career unless promoted to management.

      -If it's slow, the money is bad - No vacation for part time workers - Expected to do work outside of what is in your job description - Pressured to accept shifts on days you have off - High turnover due to the business - No sitting at all, even if you have worked for over 10 hours

      Pros

      Easy to make lots of friends with coworkers.

      Cons

      Favoritism, very exhausting, THE WORST CLIENTS YOU CAN GET. Lousy tippers, no commission on huge parties of people anymore. Servers are severely underpaid for the amount of work they do. Management doesn't care for the employees at all. Servers get burned frequently and the entire staff is often very unhappy. Scheduling is a mess.
