      Pros

      Meet lots of people. Can play around with drinks and food (depending on your higher ups). I enjoyed the actual making of drinks and food. I personally loved the cleaning and tear downs, when there was enough time and staff to properly do it.

      Cons

      Short staffed. Some customers are straight up horrible and abusive. Would get so busy that you were running around trying to do the jobs of 3 people. Some of the team members were terrible to others and the management didn't take the bullying seriously.

        Pros

        If you are an international student this will help you to build up contacts, improve language and communication skills and make yourself ready to handle tough situations.

        Cons

        This company offers the lowest wages and that is not enough for anything. Most of the stores will provide tip as sharing basis so you will get the tip money after dividing it equally. No benefits, no holiday pays, no incentives, no free food. Some stores offer free food most of them charge 50%. The work is really hard, need to stand 8 hrs, sweeping, mopping, cleaning, dishwashing, washroom cleaning, garbage disposal, stock filling etc and no supervisor/ manager will appreciate you. Instead they will say faster faster faster. It is really difficult to get into their favourite list so you might have to do all the tough works and even the chances of promotion is not easy. Also the future is limited. The pay for supervisors and managers are not really huge. Once you quit the job, you have to start from scratch again and the experience and service never going to be considered.

      I just got an email from Norton that someone ran a reputation report on me. I didn’t run it. I just finished a second round interview yesterday. Do you think it’s HR doing due diligence or a scammer? Is running reputation reports common practice?

      Interviewed with a company last week and it seemed to be really be going well. Followed up today since it's been a week and the recruiter said she received really positive feedback about me from the hiring managers. She said she should have more info for me in the next few days and then asked me to formally apply (the recruiter found me on LinkedIn so I hadn't actually applied). Is it safe to assume I'll likely be getting an offer soon?
