Pros

Its mainly commission and tips you're counting on for a good work day and they provide benefits and whole lot of hours.

Cons

It's a highly competitive role in a small working environment and the base pay is nothing to look forward to if you have a family to take care of. Hopefully your manager is a good one that's business oriented plus professional and not a demoted one that doesn't provoke you.

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.
