Pros

Cool event to work Fun staff Nice atmosphere

Cons

Worked a month and half ago and still haven't been paid Communication to receive payment was lacking, until I reached out to HR, who responded immediately, but really had no effect. HR was really just temporary damage control. Don't expect anything as a server because you can be easily replaced so it doesn't matter.
