Pros

I enjoyed working for a company that was a genuinely good company. The food was good, the prices weren't too crazy, and my co-workers were, overall, respectable people.

Cons

It is incredibly fast-paced. You are the scapegoat for everyone else. If the food sucks - it's your fault. If the table is dirty - it's your fault. If the line is too long - it's your fault. It's a very stressful job. My manager was ok, but it seemed like he had mood swings. He also chose favorites which really pissed me off. I was a full-timer who had been there since opening day, working my ass off, and this ditzy sorority girl comes on part-time and gets promoted within 2 weeks of being there. So I quit.

Pros

I liked working here as a first job because they seemed to be mostly okay with someone making small mistakes. They knew it is bound to happen so they're pretty happy to help out and fix your issues. You also get a lot of customer service experience.

Cons

Management can be a bit iffy. Sometimes the hours or hard but it's not unbearable.

Pros

The pay is good. You are able to eat food. The co-workers are nice. They have events for all the pandas that you can go on like once year.

Cons

i felt like I was not trained very well from the beginning. Still learning things that I should have been told at the beginning of when I started working. Dont really hear that I have done a good job. the hours are long days usually but some are short.
