Pros

Flexible job for college students.

Cons

My Old Chicago was right next to the University of Nebraska's stadium and on games days employees were not allowed to take breaks for over 10 hours. The managers would become intimately involved (even sexually) with wait staff. It was awful.

Pros

Training is great! Especially if you are part of a brand new staff opening a new location. Low turnover, great money on any on the evening shifts. Staff was always willing to trade shifts and help one another. Side work is easy. Menu was simple, even the 110 beers were relatively simple to pair with food menu items. The drink specials created lots of regulars. This was one of the most fun jobs I have ever had, I would probably still be working at least one night a week if I hadn't moved across the country.

Cons

UGH! TRIVIA NIGHT! My particular location had trivia night on Wednesday nights, which i chose to work for nearly a year. It was horrible. It generated this absurd group of non tippers and guests that would sit for 3 hours not allowing any turnover. Late nite menu, at some point we the extended hours changed (I can't remember specifics) and a late nite menu was developed. The menu servings were tiny and over priced.
