Pros

Only good thing is you get to keep tips even though you use your own tips as change for guests

Cons

Weird supervisor. Talks to minors about the most inappropriate things. Acts like a big child and makes everyone uncomfortable. So much gossip and favouritism. Food is frozen and heated and tastes freezer burned and gross. Angry chefs who scream despite the hardest part of their job being warming bread in a microwave after spitting chewed up food in their bare hands and not washing. Calls you in for shifts just to send you home again once you arrive. Avoid!!!

Pros

Great customers who rewarded comedic and thoughtful moments. Knowing you're expendable and low status is all part of the fun; A worthwhile insight into human psychology, working under the social pressure of threat of embarrassment communicating with hangry guests and fed up cynical managers, sticking up for more socially vulnerable team members against bullying customers and managers. If you can maintain good mental health in a job like this you can do it anywhere. Transferable skills that helped me finally defeat depression.

Cons

Underfunded sites under weak management in key areas sent to the underworld. No redundancy or holiday pay after pandemic forced termination. Inability to spot and cherish talented team members. Greedy economy starved key sites of staff or care resulting in a bad reputation and miserable staff weekend after weekend.
