Pros

Very Flexible Schedule. Good way to make some extra cash.

Cons

Get stuck with horrible hours, little to no room for advancement, managers like to play favorites when writing schedules. was trainer for a year and a half and I got screwed on hours and scheduling every single week because the scheduling manager had some weird grudge against me because I wasn't going to bow to their every whim and treat them like some deity. Customers are rude and often don't tip meaning that you just lost money since you now have to tip out on what you didn't make
