Pros

Loosely set busy periods (breakfast, lunch, dinner, bar crowd) Meet lots of new people and friendly familiar faces 80% of the your co-workers are honest, hard working people just trying to makes ends meet

Cons

Little to no recognition for good work Expected to make sales with oft times questionable supply amounts Occasionally pushed to do work outside your position (i.e. Salespeople cooking) Nearly impossible to contact management for emergencies during their off time No bonuses for salespeople and few for cooks to encourage and continue excellent work

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
