Pros

They will hire for 40 hours a week which many other jobs in this category won't. If you can work the morning shifts the time can go quickly and you can get to create a rapport with the regular customers.

Cons

Abusive customers especially drunken patrons at night that can't handle that last call is 2 AM. Expected to upsell every customer and shake them down to contribute to the donation jar so that your district manager can win a vacation. Regular customers become irritated if they come in everyday, buy the same thing, and have to listen to a sales pitch every time. Upper management policy and store level reality are two separate worlds. Management wants you to keep hot dog rollers and hot sandwich dispensers full, and coffee pots full all night long. If you did these things you would waste so much inventory that the district manager would freak and demand to know why there is so much inventory loss.

Pros

Surprisingly Great Access to Benefits. I opened up an HSA and had access to a company sponsored HDHP insurance plan, so it's a legit savings account. Well, they throw the food out at the end of the day, so if you buy anything while you're working there then you're making a mistake. Great work environment, like they can actually sell chocolate bars inside! -- What a bar.

Cons

Well, you can only stay there for so long. I found if you don't try out the deals then your particularly hurtful to customers, the caviot is the food deals are a waste of time. They'll work you if you try the stuff, so just don't try anything.
