Pros

-Decent cash tips on some days. -flexible job schedule since management has no backbone and you can just not show up to work. -Working outside when the weather is nice

Cons

-an embarrassing benefits plan that isn't worth paying into. -you are forced to do not only the valet job but also act as security officer (they are rarely around or just don't care enough to maintain order in the service area) , patient transport, concierge beyond what your job description dictates. -You will be expected to work in all weather conditions, even though you are not provided with the right clothing to withstand the elements. When I say all weather, I mean blizzards, hurricane watches, heavy rains ext.. -many customers and employees are extremely disrespectful towards the valets and don't care to follow our directions or requests. -Valets are regularly​ sent to other work sites when the other sites are short on staff, even if your own site is short on staff and they will not pay for your travels. -The pay is minimum wage, there are no bonuses or incentives, nobody recognizes a job well done so what is the point? -management does nothing about employee lateness or insubordination, which leaves more​ work for the employees that care enough to do the right thing. -Management doesn't make enough to be an incentive for advancement I could go on and on and on...

Pros

Stable work with hours that perfectly worked for me.

Cons

The location I was at went 2 years without an onsite manager which made it a bit chaotic. Had to learn a ton which gave me growth.
