Pros

none once I became a manager.

Cons

constantly being talked down to or nagged or treated as if you were dumb. added on work loads not in your job description. like landscaper, electrician, HVAC specialist the list goes on and on. theoretical labor made by an accountant that has never worked in a restaurant.
