Building rapport with regulars, potential to make excellent money depending on location (worked at a few one was amazing, one was average, one just sucked because it was never busy)
Cons
Working every holiday, usually having to pick up someone else's slack unless you have a great team

Solid pay for the industry

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.
