      Pros

      Sometimes you get tips. Definitely room to "climb the ranks".

      Cons

      Drama. Management was unprofessional. Wouldn't work with you on your availability. They cut hours and days if they were upset with you. Paychecks were small even when working 40 hrs. No breaks. Even if you don't eat you still have money come out of your check every shift you work. I received no training and would get reprimanded for not knowing things.
