Pros

1st shift can make good money during a good rush and the holidays.

Cons

Have to wash dishes for the entire restaurant. Only restaurant Ive ever worked at with no dishwasher. Slows things down. Higher-up Management keeps asking for more side work year by year, to be done before leaving for the same pay. Unrealistic expectations. This year credit card tips will be reported and taxed on.

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.
