Pros
the pay it pretty good, at one location I was paid $12 an hour and another location I was paid the salary of a server ($2.13 an hour) but then we split the gratuity of each event between the servers working it, so it was still pretty good pay. I loved all of my coworkers and my managers have been the most understanding and helpful bosses I've ever had.
Cons
hours can be extremely long sometimes if they're understaffed, I've worked 16 hour shifts before If there are no events, you won't work. There are times in the year where banquets can be completely dead for weeks, so you have to save your money wisely. dealing with rude guests, but that is just a given for working in hospitality
