Pros

It makes your next job a god send

Cons

Head office take 60% of all online tips you get (the rest is split among all the business) and you get let go if you tell any guest - even if they ask Head office consist of bored illiterate people who spend time writing company 'ethos' which all staff members are required to remember They drop in 'undercover' requesting a free meal and testing staff on these values - you are put on probation if you get them wrong Sexual assault in the work place is at best ignored, at worst made jokes of by management If a table walk out without paying, waiting staff are expected to front the bill Massive hierarchical structure functioning off manipulation and abuse of power to vulnerable individuals

Pros

Other staff our great, made great friends.

Cons

Awful management, bullying from management, let customers physically and verbally abuse staff because kicking them out would lose money, management getting drunk at work and bullying staff, upper site management on a power trip, multiple 12+ hour shifts with no breaks, empty promises of training and promotion, threatened with being fired if any complaint was raised, harassment from upper management brushed under carpet, high school like cliques, constantly walking on egg shells out of fear of being punish/losing job. Could go on
