Pros

For my store, the management team was always very easy to work with as far a scheduling goes. I also was able to make enough money to support myself through college with this job.

Cons

It is a restaurant job so it is going to be long, late hours of dealing with hungry guest. Our clientele base can be bad because of the type of food that we offer.

Pros

Flexible hours, evenings and weekends to work around f/t day job, variety, fairly easy. Earn tips. Not as much as a server, but helpful considering the wage.

Cons

One of the managers in particular has a fragile ego/insecurities and tends to go on power trips. He takes out his mood on employees. There are also favorites, and if you are not one of them he does not treat you well. Yelling, condescension, snide comments, etc. Some employees have worked there for MANY years and still make the same wage they did when they were hired. Experience, leadership & training needs to be recognized and rewarded.
