Pros

-Wide range of customers -On first or third shift you will have a fairly steady stream of customers -Most of the people you work with are nice, down-to-earth individuals.

Cons

In our area... -As a server working second shift you DON'T MAKE MINIMUM WAGE. When you are hired, you are informed that you will be compensated if your expected tips add up to less than minimum wage, but this is Not the case and trying to get the issue resolved is like pulling teeth. -Hours where there is not a single customer in the store. -If the previous shift leaves their side work unfinished (specifically dishes) you have to get that done before you can get started with your own work for the day and it can seriously put you behind.

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.
