Pros:
- Lots of friendly coworkers that will be easy to get along/make friends with
- Will quickly learn lots about working in restaurants and customer service
- Good for a summer job
- [Hosts & support staff] Get to do lots of different things every shift (greeting, seating, bussing, food-running, updating table availability...)
- Exercise (lots of walking)
- Energetic + social environment
- Working outdoors (nice to be in the sun and by the lake)

Cons:
- Ridiculously busy during summertime so it can be quite stressful and fast-paced (but if you like keeping busy at jobs then it's fun). Be prepared to sweat
- Some managers better+more respectful than others
- Large tourist clientele so tipout isn't great
- Business highly dependent on weather/outdoor seating
- Seasonal layoffs (don't put too much trust in staying permanently)
- Less hours as weather gets colder
- Not much shift/# of hours flexibility

It's a great summer gig, especially if you're new to the city because the coworkers are the best part of the job-- you'll make lots of friends as you're run through the mud in the chaotic environment.

Good experience for new servers, busy location but only seasonal and managers have favorites. Hard to request time off.
