Pros

You get a lot of free food, there's decent pay, and you get occasional bonuses

Cons

The worst upper management I've ever had to deal with. They are horrible people who could care less about their employees. Prepare to work 12+ hour shifts with one 10 minute break if you're lucky. Barely anybody is scheduled for shifts because they are absolutely OBSESSED with labor costs, so prepare to be given a ridiculous amount of responsibilities that only results in extremely long wait times for customers. Don't bother trying to bring any problems to upper management, they will just tell you how its your fault and how you obviously don't care about your team's success and should try harder and they'll just hang the 9 dollars an hour thing over your head the whole time.
