Pros

The money was okay, but I could've made so much more money if I just worked Tuesdays and weekends and got a different job the other days of the week instead of wasting my time making around thirty bucks in a weekday lunch shift. You walk and sweat so much, I lost about 20 lbs over the summer

Cons

Get ready to loose feeling in your fingertips from boiling plates and have blisters covering your feet. Literally, no one cares about you; whether your feet hurt from working 12 hours with no break, whether it's 105 outside and you think heatstroke is upon you or whether you ate today and might pass out. I fell down the stairs once and was crying and the managers treated me like an inconvience, were angry the next two days when I had to call in, and didn't give me workers comp or anything, (I had to go to the ER and they thought I broke my pelvis). The kitchen is gross, there's never enough silverware, drink trays, cups, plates, or people working in the kitchen. Everyone hates you if you're new, no matter what. If you start sucking up to headwaiters, it helps you get out before 1 am
