Pros

You do get a mandatory break which is nice that you can always count on that for a moment to recollect yourself.

Cons

Getting a raise that is actually more than a .50 is impossible unless you want to become a shift lead

Advancement opportunities, great at developing skills, great place to learn a skill and grow your resume, or grow with the company.
