Pros

The employees you work with and regular customers make it worth coming to work everyday. The lack of dm supervision gave us free reign to do whatever we wanted.

Cons

Upper-management does not know what direction to go with the company. Be ready to do what you're told and get yelled at for doing it.

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.
