Pros

The pay is not bad for a a restaurant job. And you can get plenty of hours being that they underhire and overwork.

Cons

Everything else. They treat their employees like dogs, having them fetch items on command and never giving them the slightest satisfaction or gratification for a job well done. They never have quite enough employees, so you get almost an average of 50 hours a week. They treat every new corporate policy like it's a secret that you are unworthy of knowing. And still berate you when you fail to follow them. There is absolutely nothing you can do that is good enough. Nothing. You can be the best working they have had in years, bit you will never know that by the way try treat you. You will start to think that your worthless and you must be doing a terrible job. But you aren't.
