You'll learn a lot about the workforce at this job, that's for sure...
Pros: The work isn't complicated, but it's not easy either. All the food prep, order taking, and window service tasks are fairly simple on their own, but you'll need to do them quickly and precisely and be able to do them as part of a team. Much like an internship, most of what you get out of this job will be in terms of experience. You'll be building foundational skills such as workplace etiquette, professional presentation, and getting your butt out of bed to go make some money.
Cons: Just don't stick with it for too long or your sanity will be sucked straight out of your skull like a brain smoothie. The work environment is very high pressure and tension tends to ramp up steeply during peak hours. Working an eight hour shift at this job will leave you feeling both physically and mentally exhausted. Do not stay at this type of job for more than a year or it will begin to warp you.
