Pros

discounted food and people are lovely

Cons

terrible management I was doing 12 hour shifts and they kinda guilt trip you into doing more work especially if your younger, also pay was low especially if your under 21 and when I asked how do I get a raise they gave me managerial duties and still refused to pay me anything extra
