Pros

Can have nice customers, that’s it.

Cons

They take $3 from your check for every shift you work for food, even when you don’t eat. They will inexplicably cut your hours. They will allow people to bully you and abelism is RIPE in this buisness. If you’re autistic or otherwise mentally or physically disable you will be bullied. People will be mad at you for being disabled because you “slow them down”. You will not hear back from management after reporting bullies. You will not see any improvement. You are responsible for all the dishes as a server, all the customers, etc. If you experience bigotry don’t even think about saying anything or you’re in the wrong. Even if you’re just telling them that they should be kinder to strangers. Oh, and to cap it all off the pay is ABYSMAL for the amount of work that’s expected of you. I would rate this 0 stars if I could.

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.
