Pros

You meet new people all the time, you get half price food all day, and people are always willing to take our shifts if you need off last minute.

Cons

There are customers that treat you like the scum of the earth. Managers have favorites who are "career servers" and they can do as they please without consequences. And don't count on a good job getting noticed.
