Pros

The good part is you get free food, you meet awesome customers and build relationships with coworkers.

Cons

Management was terrible. My gm was physically abusive and made me cry once a week because of how rude they were to me. I was also promised a raise which I never received but I was still doing more work. There was no life and work balance, I was always work work work.
