Pros

Soooo many hours. I'd sometimes get like 80 a week. Great people and the work is a nice blend of very busy and relaxed so you actually enjoy your shifts.

Cons

Low pay if you're doing a shift as a server. Lots of drunk people at night and large families in the morning, it can get packed so easily and sometimes you'd have to run a packed restaurant with only 2 people in the building and this has gone wrong many times if a new person is scheduled. ALSO i had to train people most of the time which isn't really a problem except this one time i had to train a man (for a management position) making 3x more than me where he refused to learn anything so i had to cook, serve and clean the entire restaurant which was actually the worst management experience i had there (which is a plus)

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.
