Pros

Working at a themed restaurant in a tourist district made for constant business, lot of teamwork throughout the restaurant, great food with good discounts, recognition and praise from management for a job well done.

Cons

Extremely late nights along with long tiring hours, tourists ruined any chance at making decent money, favoritism among employees and management, and when you did make money most of it went to tipping out numerous causes.
