Pros

Cash in hand at the end of each shift, weekly paycheck with guaranteed hourly minimum, free shift meal.

Cons

Outdated system of "calling in" orders and paper tickets leaves much to be desired; it's tough to get the hang of if you're used to a point-of-sale computer system for placing orders. Servers are also responsible for pricing every order and tabulating the tax and total for the handwritten tickets - a really unnecessary pain if you're busy.

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.
