Pros

It is pretty easy work with a fairly flexible schedule which is nice when you're working while in school. You can make a pretty good compensation as well through tips, but you need to work a lot of hours.

Cons

Many people get hired who shouldn't. They stand around and don't do anything which requires you to have to do more work than you should. You aren't compensated or given a raise for doing for jobs of 3 people.

Pros

Good pay, if there aren't too many drivers, and you're at a good place for lunch, you can expect to make around $50 in tips per day or more, and get reimbursed for mileage. The people there can be hit or miss, some people can be very fun to work with and responsible.

Cons

The upper management can be lead with too many sensitive women, who don't know how to diagnose situations properly, and take the side of the immature employees who get offended way too easily. The co-workers can be very young and irresponsible, but this is par for the course for food places if you don't have strong leadership.
