Pros

There are some pros to working here, at least for a first job if you're ~ 16. You get free drinks, half priced food, and if you're a Party Hostess you have the potential of making tips (although this is extremely inconsistent and you're not technically supposed to be taking tips according to HQ).

Cons

The management is absolutely terrible. No one cares about the store, the employees, etc. The managers would all gossip about each other to the employees and it would get extremely awkward for everyone. Managers would hide in the office doing "paperwork" (which meant texting, eating, sleeping, etc.) daily. When asked to come out to fix a game or settle down an upset guest, they would get furious at you. Hours were extremely inconsistent and everything was done for the company to make money. On a busy Saturday, you can work a 9 hours shift and not be allowed to have a break. However, on a calm Monday you're forced to take one after only working for a couple hours to cut down on hours. Ridiculous. I was also forced to work through my unpaid break on many occasions. It's an awful place to work.

Pros

Free food, slightly flexible schedule. Decent training and support.

Cons

Upper management and corporate are incompetent, and do not care about your safety, or the customers. Will do anything to save a dollar because the company is on the verge of going under. You will not get any worthwhile raises, Quite frankly I don't even think the company will be around in the next few years.
