Business outlook

Pros

I learned how to have a thick skin that’s for sure

Cons

By far the worst work experience I’ve ever had. Don’t bother telling managers if you’re being harassed by a customer they’ll say it’s what you signed up for

Business outlook

Pros

Great money at times. When you’re a server it’s pretty easy to get shifts

Cons

Very catty because of the girls you work with. Hostile environment. Managers definitely play favorites on who gets the good sections. A LOT of favoritism.
