Pros

%50 Discount on meals, relatively easy once you get the hang out of it, generally fun coworkers, better than not having money at all.

Cons

Where to start? Was asked to be a manager, then told I wasn't going to be. Promotions are few and far between anyway Impossible to get hours when you need them, when you don't need them you are over scheduled Some shift managers scrape by doing very little while others do too much training is just awful getting shifts covered is nearly impossible raises? what raises? unpaid breaks Way too much "Do as I say, not as I do" Almost always understaffed because managers don't help unless it is critical that they help.
