Pros
+ Didn't have to stay out too late for a bartending gig. Usually home before 12pm-1am. + Not a lot of silly extra chores you need to do at most places. You go in, set up, work, clean, count your money, and go home. + When events are crowded the tips are very good. You can easily break $40/hr. + Employees work as a team most of the time, people help each other get the job done. + Pick the shifts you work.
Cons
- Since most of your co-workers are part-time/seasonal, a non-negligible amount of your co-workers will be taking their job very lightly. This can become frustrating when you are relying on having those folks there to help you. - The supervisors try to respect your time, but sometimes at slow events you'll be kept on for the entire event and only make a couple bucks in tips. - The high-earning bars are always monopolized by more senior employees. It is very hard to get shifts in the best locations as a newer employee.
