Pros

it all comes down to if you have a good manager. I had good coworkers which made work, good and fun. I personally really enjoyed working there. It is super easy to move up if your manager is really good about it and do different things like cook or work in the front. pay was worth it too.

Cons

The manager is lazy and doesn’t work hard and help with the team. It’ll be hard. Also, if they favor towards one person It’s obvious they get it easier
