What I liked
The coworkers are great, extremely flexible with hours and very understanding with college obligations.
What I wish was different
The staffing could be better, we tend to be understaffed yet we have enough people hired where this shouldn't be a problem.
Advice
Restaurant jobs are very important, they are humbling and teach you a lot about how to work with people.

What I liked
I like that there’s a lot of merit in serving. Most of the people you take care of will tip you based on how hard you work. Not everyone does that, but a lot do. It’s nice to have your efforts rewarded.
What I wish was different
I wish our GM had not changed in the middle of the summer.
Advice
If you’re willing to put in some extra effort, this job can be good for you. But it’s not a good job if you aren’t willing to work hard.

I wish that I had been less socially anxious about starting the job, because I could have saved myself a lot of worrying.
