Pros

It's a job that brings in income.

Cons

-Unprofessional -Management can not handle a stressful environment -Management will make you clock in after your scheduled time if it's not busy enough for you to work. -If it's too busy, you can not take a break and everyday there's always someone that can not take a break.

Pros

Flexible hours, evenings and weekends to work around f/t day job, variety, fairly easy. Earn tips. Not as much as a server, but helpful considering the wage.

Cons

One of the managers in particular has a fragile ego/insecurities and tends to go on power trips. He takes out his mood on employees. There are also favorites, and if you are not one of them he does not treat you well. Yelling, condescension, snide comments, etc. Some employees have worked there for MANY years and still make the same wage they did when they were hired. Experience, leadership & training needs to be recognized and rewarded.
