Decent first job
Pros: GM at my location is very understanding about many issues such as scheduling conflicts and personal needs. Those who learn quickly and don't mind a good deal of standing will likely find this to be a job worth having, even if they may have their eyes set on a different career path.I won't say it's easy, but one becomes accustomed to the tasks they need to perform.
Cons: Vacation time only starts after a full year of work. Prior to that you may be able to schedule a stretch of unpaid time off, depending on your needs and the period in question, but it needs to be done weeks in advance, and a month or more would likely be better, in case any issues arise. The kitchen area can be very hot, especially in the summer. Also, if you have any medical issues that might impact your ability to perform any of the job tasks required of you, you will need a doctor's note. This includes having difficulty standing for extended periods, which can sometimes be about five hours without a break, depending on your shift.
