Pros

It really depends on what kind of boss you get stuck with. They pay exceptionally well to deserving candidates, they are flexible in letting you take time off. Tonnes of applicants coming through the door.

Cons

Cheap and rude guests. Disconnect with the upper management, there's no one who would hear. Stressful when it gets busy.

you get paid sometimes if people tip you you get to eat off people plates before the food goes out free soda!

Cons

you lost a little part of your soul each shift the company does not care one bit about you, you are completely disposable after tips you make minimum wage your a personal slave and people treat you as such (or worse)

Pros

Every employee has flexible hours. Management is very sensitive to your schedule. Fellow employees are supportive and fun to work with. On the job training.

Cons

Unless you want to work nights and weekends, learn everything there is to know about the restaurant in order to become a manager, there is no promotion possibility.
