Pros

Free fountain drinks. 1/2 off of everything except alcohol. Comradery between employees when complaining about how crappy working here is. Thats about it.

Cons

Absolutely disgusting. The roach infestation just keeps getting bigger and management refuses to do anything about it. Speaking of management, most of them are pretty ok they'll treat you like an actual human being. Some of them on the other hand are complete arseholes who will treat you like crap for daring to offer any sort of advice. They will literally hire anyone on the spot. For some that may be a pro, but thats how we have so many arseholes/drug addicts/thieves working here. You will constantly be asked to do stuff outside of your job description, namely dishes because they never have the damn dishwasher on the clock. Keep in mind this would be ok if dishwashers didn't make $10p/h and servers make $2.13p/h, and they refuse to pay you more to do it. Just say no. Employees only recieve time cards to play video games, meaning you can't collect points or play games that give prizes(claw machines and the like). You also are technically forbidden from buying game cards that do collect points, and will get written up if one of the crappier managers catches you with one. The person making the schedules doesn't always follow the 12 hr gap rule. Be prepared to raise a little hell to get the break you deserve. Speaking of breaks, you are required to make the time yourself. If your busy all day/night and no one will cover for you learn how to inhale your food or starve.
