Pros
Very big discount on food. You can get a lot of hours. Lots of positions to choose from.
Cons
Overworked for not much pay. I juggled school and work at the same time and I'd have to work from 5am-2pm for many of my shifts and had to go to school immediately after. The shifts are not great for students because they are between 7-9 hours long and are at inconvienient times in the day.
