Pros

Got to work with some really interesting characters. The core of the kitchen staff has been around for years, the FOH is usually pretty weak.

Cons

Friday night and you're getting slammed, under staffed to cut labor and no management in sight. Wouldn't be so bad if the pay was better.

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.
