Pros

If you want to lose weight and gain some muscle you should work here.

Cons

Barely gave me any hours, constantly carrying dirty dishes that would touch my shirts and leave stains because the aprons weren't long enough, management always asking me to stay longer then I was scheduled for, I would come home and my feet would feel like they were breaking and just ew.

Pros

great potential to grow In company

Cons

Co managers are all either not helping the team or helping tackle issues. GMs hire poor talent and lack sense of urgency to fix issues

Pros

You have an excuse to drink. Also, free bagels. Sometimes you get a free sandwich.

Cons

Holiday work, no breaks, no raises, you never get a consistent schedule. If you're cross trained in everything you'll be expected to work multiple stations simultaneously.
