Good emplyees go unnoticed, and are never recognized for anything good there.

Business Outlook

Pros

Make some money. Improve on your people skills. Learn how to tip if you don't already know. Learn a few recipes and maybe make one friend or two.

Cons

Workers who call in and never show get rewarded; ones who are always early and never call in go unnoticed. I've been there for almost 4 years an have never been acknowledged as a good employee, nor have I ever been employee of the month. New people come to work there and within 3 months they have been employee of the month twice.
