Pros

Cash weekly. Fairly easy to gey a schedule to fit your needs. I make good tips because of the side of town I work on

Cons

Every single holiday is mandatory. Even fourth of july and labor day. Wait tables because cooks are underpaid. You have to be in a good area to get good tips

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
