Pros

Weekly Pay Can make good money during the holiday seasons

Cons

Having to do dishes while serving instead of having a dedicated dish washer Second shift takes the brunt of the side work but other shifts have expected side work as well that can be a pain after serving for eight hours Managers tend to hire anyone, so unfortunetly many coworkers are unreliable which adds to the stress of the job You're expected to multitask different tasks like doing dishes while calling out orders.

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
