Pros

The money can be good, you take the good with the bad. You get to meet immersing or even famous people sometimes.

Cons

The longest shift it third 9pm-7am. Mandatory holiday work 12 hour shifts. Weekends have more girls on the floor so you get less tables to turn over.

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
