Pros

Free meal, nice management, easy to learn what you gotta do.

Cons

No work life balance, not good for your mental health, not to mention the tasks they give you that you dont even have time for. The ordering process obviously doesnt make sense to the guests. Which means you have to explain everything over and over and over again. Overall, I wouldnt recommend.
