Pros

this job (dishwasher ) at Golden Corral #993 is a terribly good opportunity for some one of my station in life , they work at a constant rate ( there's not a single boring moment , with a few seconds to catch you breath now and then [ I personally dislike sedentary type jobs as unbearably dreary ] the co-workers are jovial , the manager caste are fair-minded ( but on the alert for customer satisfaction , practical problems of insuring an smooth flow of operations , etc. ) ) . Also , I get job schedules that allow me to go to church on the week-end for paschal obligation ,or failing that me and my mom go to a chapel service during the week to make communion ( we are catholic ).

Cons

They expect everybody to show up at the time they are scheduled for , pay attention to details on the job , adapt creatively to work conditions as they arise, be intelligent at all times , be always courteous to each other ( especially patrons out on the floor in the dining areas ) and don't slack off (considering the non-stop work load that be would be rather un-toward).

Pros

Great bonus structure, potential for advancement is available, not micromanaged.

Cons

Very long hours, labor expectations are absurd, corporate upper management is pompous and unrealistic in their expectations.

Pros

It's fast paced. not your typical serving job. Sections are big, range from 8-30 tables at a time.

Cons

There is a lot of favoritism. Shifts depend on how favorable you are to the manager. Maybe this is only at the location I'm at.
