Pros

Monthly bonus, higher rate of pay after training, 50% off food on shift, 20% off when your not working. Shares in the company after 2 years.

Cons

Can sometimes overwork yourself, having a sick day is hard work to get, full time work gives you no free time. Late night shifts.

Pros

The people are friendly and nice to work with, and you see interesting things because of the effects of alcohol.

Cons

The customers can get aggressive or rude because they're drunk, and shifts can feel extremely long with relatively short breaks.
