Pros

Usually nice coworkers, good regulars, tips can be really good if you’re working busy shifts

Cons

Over worked and under paid. General managers are hit or miss and if yours is bad, you’re screwed and they won’t be held accountable. Some coworkers are bullies with no repercussion. Unfair task delegation. Hard to get full time hours unless you’re upper management.
