Pros

Fun people amongst peers/equals. Shift meals, vacation time, insurance.

Cons

Long hours, toxic and abusive treatment from upper management, pay, hours, and vacation time not what initially promised upon hire/promotion. Yearly raises (if you receive one) are far too small to even keep up with inflation. Problematic treatment of women. Labor laws violated regularly. Extremely high stress, high pressure, benefits are there but not amazing, pay is okay but not equivalent to the amount of work put in and the hit to quality of life that comes with that.

Pros

You are able to learn a lot about full circle accounting if you're willing and ready. If you're well liked, you will receive good treatment.

Cons

Very negative environment. Imagine a large amount of women working in an office. No communication from top down. Often wouldn't know stores were closing until a Facebook post was made by marketing. All of the managers operate differently and have different expectations. This makes it hard to keep up and be switched around to different restaurants.
