Pros

It makes your next job a god send

Cons

Head office take 60% of all online tips you get (the rest is split among all the business) and you get let go if you tell any guest - even if they ask Head office consist of bored illiterate people who spend time writing company 'ethos' which all staff members are required to remember They drop in 'undercover' requesting a free meal and testing staff on these values - you are put on probation if you get them wrong Sexual assault in the work place is at best ignored, at worst made jokes of by management If a table walk out without paying, waiting staff are expected to front the bill Massive hierarchical structure functioning off manipulation and abuse of power to vulnerable individuals
