Pros

Wonderful and sometimes long-lasting relationships with fellow employees and regular customers Making people smile Bonuses for cooks based on sales Decent money for servers who know what they're doing and commit Breaks are as-needed for the most part Interesting history, and people love it.

Cons

The cons are the same as any other job when you're a grunt. Some locations are worse/better than others, as with most places. Nothing really sticks out aside from particular regions that give the impression that the company is male-dominated and very old fashioned.

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.
