      Pros

      They are great with communication and continuing education.

      Cons

      For a fun time, not a long time

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Fun, enjoyable staff and general vibe. It does get hectic (all nightlife hospitality does) but the treatment of employees is 10/10 and you'll never have a serving job quite like this one

      Cons

      They do split tips, and everything is a bit unorganized. Again, par for the course in this industry, but if you want uncomplicated money, I would say bartend on your own at a regular restaurant
