Pros

Learning the lingo is fun but may be overwhelming at first Literally nothing else is a pro of this job

Cons

Abusive co-workers Apathetic management Do not work night shift Pathetic tips People steal from the register constantly, and then all servers on the shift have to split the amount stolen and give it back Which is sometimes more than you actually made

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.
