Pros

Scheduling flexibility and the chance to work as much or as little as you need to.

Cons

Waiter's are underappreciated and overworked and receive very little compensation from their employers. It's is not atypical to receive a paycheck that says $0.00 because you're entire $2.13 an hour is barely enough to pay the taxes on your tips.
