    Pros

    You gain a skill to multitask and mentally register a long list of tasks that will comes in handle. Gain a sense of appreciation for people working in the food industry.

    Cons

    The management suck! Managers lack communication, organization and interpersonal skills! It's all management! They take out their frustrations out on workers when their horrible management causes the resturant not to perform well. You get abuse from all sides! Customers, co- workers and management! Everyone is taking out their emotions on you! They work you crazy long hours and pay you way below mininuim wage because you get tips. Tips aren't as great because the poor management causes most customers not want to tip. The company is too cheap to do anything proprely. Also, the place is disgusting.
