Pros

Pay check is decent , free food. Most co workers make time better there some are a pain though.

Cons

You do a job for two in one. When you ask for help its almost like an insult to them, You come home sore and tired and burnt out. Management gets to sit in their comfy office spaces while cooks and prep and everyone in kitchen slaves away.
