Learn fundamental food service skills.
Pros: The fast pace can be exciting. You learn a bit about the restaurant business and, depending on your position, customer service. There are great advancement opportunities. Free meals and drinks are a plus. Not a bad "first job," and you can move up if you're motivated.
Cons: On your feet all day, multitasking in a stressful environment. Mistakes happen, and customers will be dissatisfied (and may blame you). Some managers are so stressed that they ignore workers' needs (at least in my experience). Smell like greasy french fries when you get home (and feel greasy).
