Pros
Flexibility with schedules, they will work with you if you are in school, etc. Ability to make great money and receive it that day (fast cash) Form great friendships with coworkers Casual setting, not fine dining environment Fun and fast paced environment Mostly friendly clientele making it an enjoyable serving experience Ability to learn great customer "hospitality" skills Great job to get you through school while being able to pay bills with the fast cash that you can make Good "starter" job
Cons
Small restaurant/kitchen that can get really packed when busy making serving difficult because of the inability to move anywhere without bumping into customers/coworkers EXTREMELY hot in the summer time! If you want to make big money you need to be willing to work weekends Rely solely on tips, so if it is not busy that day or you are getting small tips you will not make much money A lot of side work, cleaning, restocking, etc. Management can be somewhat disorganized and difficult to get a hold of when having issues
