Pros

Decent money for a student, get paid the normal minimum wage in California vs. tipped employee minimum wage as in other states, can transfer anywhere in the country after 6 months, good food, fun young people (some locations), better than your average serving job, easy to get shifts covered with electronic scheduling system

Cons

Horrible management, bad communication between management-staff and staff-staff, lack of appreciation/acknowledgement of employees, low employee morale but I suppose that just comes with being a server.
