Pros

My coworkers were nice. I was able to have a relatively flexible schedule. Only worked once or twice a week and still got decent tips.

Cons

Need to be standing and doing something at all times or you'll get passive-aggressively yelled at. Constantly guilt-tripped into covering shifts. Gets pretty stressful during busy times. The $11 an hour I was being paid didn't feel fair in proportion to the work, and shift managers (who had to do far more work and fill in every empty shift) made maybe a dollar more than that.

Pros

Free drink but only one per shift

Cons

Upper management absolutely awful and out of touch. DM’s and DO’s do not care about your well being. Preach this whole attitude of togetherness but it’s fake and they only care about sales and numbers. This company has gone downhill fast and I am actively job hunting.
