      Pros

      Weekly pay. 1st shift makes the most tips. 2nd shift is usually slow. 3rd shift you have more ToGo orders. You get a $100 yearly bonus around Christmas (it's taxed) you get to invest in stock. You can move up; just takes a while.

      Cons

      You are expected to work every weekend and every holiday. Management suck. The hourly pay is ridiculous. No break (you're on your feet the whole shift- mainly 1st & 3rd) meal credit comes out your check everyday that you work regardless if you eat/not so I suggest you eat something. Big meats you have to pay for. Certain drinks you have to pay for. No real benefits.

      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.
