Pros

Make a lot of money for not working a lot of hours

Cons

As a server you literally have to do every single dish thats used in that restaurant WHILE you are slammed. Even all the dishes used by the grill cooks. But honestly even though it's a con by the end of the night or when you leave in the morning like I did on third shift you make enough money to get over it honestly. But I have been gone from the job for several months in my hands are in terrible condition from doing so many dishes all the time that. WH dishes are heavy and need to be stacked etc. my fingers lock up and won't bend and I can barely use my thumbs on either hand.

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.
