Pros

- easy to get shifts covered as there are a lot of people working - can make good money if management likes you

Cons

- so many internal politics and management is watching and judging you on every little thing - tons of turnover in management - always hiring new people and almost immediately giving them the best shifts but then either shafting those people or firing them - no respect for employees who have actually been loyal and consistent - tip out is 8% and an additional 1% if you have a serving assistant in your section - I'd recommend trying to find a job literally anywhere else - customers are often very rude - if a customer doesn't like something the server is blamed for not "romancing" it properly (ie explaining the dish beyond what is on the menu) and even if the dish is taken off the bill the server will still have to pay tip out on it
