Pros

If you like a fast environment and like to cook it’s a great job. A lot of labor based work the pay is good. Flexible hours.

Cons

Expect you to do more work than your title. Try to put you at the same standard as a assistant manager which gets annoying and working 5 days is exhausting, I had to cut down on days to prioritize school.
