Pros

Very corporate environment. Better benefits than comparable companies. Very flexible schedule. Usually can get people to cover your shift if needed. You can pick your own schedule.

Cons

At times, unprofessional employees. Compensation in Utah for a service member is practically all tips. Surprisingly, not very many free meals.
