Pros

Decent pay ($15 starting & tips), free drink each shift and nice discounts

Cons

Terrible training, was barely trained at all because it was so busy and was expected to know how to do everything. Difficult to get time off, was accidentally scheduled for 2 shifts in one day (11 hours) and was expected to find someone to cover or I’d have to work both shifts. Super stressful and a lot of customers are very rude. I requested that I have Mondays off and told my manager and was denied and kept being scheduled on Mondays despite not being able to work. Overall just really bad training and not a very fun place to work.

Pros

Usually nice coworkers, good regulars, tips can be really good if you’re working busy shifts

Cons

Over worked and under paid. General managers are hit or miss and if yours is bad, you’re screwed and they won’t be held accountable. Some coworkers are bullies with no repercussion. Unfair task delegation. Hard to get full time hours unless you’re upper management.
