Pros

Money is good for the short amount of hours you work, atmosphere is fun and laid back. Food is great plus the discounts and benefits you receive for being full- time. Easy to get moved up in position if you kiss the managers butt.

Cons

No breaks, No days off unless someone picks up your shift or you put it in the book at least 2 weeks in advanced, SO much back work to do. You can work a 3 to 5 hour shift which isn't bad and make 120 in tips but you'll be cleaning up doing FOH and BOH closing work that'll take up to an hour to complete .

Pros

For the most part scheduling was pretty flexible. As long as you asked off in advance you normally were granted the request. Being in a tourist heavy town as well as a college town meant the restaurant stayed pretty steadily busy throughout the year.

Cons

My only complaint would be not being allowed to ask off any holidays. That being said, management was always as accommodating as possible in deciding who worked certain holidays.
