Pros

Good people to work with. They don't fry food, so you don't smell funny when you go home. No crazy hours (don't serve breakfast or alcohol, so you're not there at the wee hours of the morning).

Cons

Some of the people can be tough to deal with, but it's nothing that you wouldn't find at any other restaurant. There's always going to be rude people no matter where you go.

Pros

i worked with nice people, people who worked harder got more hours and people would chip in and help eachother (i worked in the back but i helped up front during rush hour sometimes, and sometimes my coworkers would come help me) and i got a free meal for working a full shift

Cons

the night shift doesnt have a lot of people, and big rushes can happen.
