Pros

Working part time in a restaurant is great of you're someone who needs flexibility in your schedule. You can work as few hours as you want one week and up to 40 the next. You can take weeks off at a time and still have a job. And as a server or bartender, you make good money. Almost always at least $10 per hour. It's good for students or people with second jobs.

Cons

It's a corporate company, so there's lots of structure. A ton. Everything you do is prescribed and you're tested. Often. You'll change managers like underwear and getting rid of poor employees is a long process. And of course, you deal with the public and long hours at weird shifts. That's the hospitality industry.
