Pros

Its one of the best places that I have worked at. The management and staffs are amazing. And you will meet so many great people (tourist) from all over the world.

Cons

All good, but don't work at this place if you are one of those people that need a break another than your lunch or 15 minutes breaks. you will be on your feet 8hr shift.
