I like working there because it's close to home and they work with my schedule well because of school and my sports. I work a lot during breaks so they don't mind working me only once a week right now.
What I wish was different
I wish I was a server already, hopefully soon if I continue working there.
Advice
If you decide to work at a restaurant be prepared with constantly moving around and being on your feet for hours.

What I liked
I loved the environment and the people that I worked with.
What I wish was different
The hours were kind of everywhere, it would have been nice when to know when I was going home, rather than just waiting to see if they needed me or not.
Advice
Don't take things personally, sometimes people are mean, and that doesn't reflect on you or how well you are doing.

What I liked
I enjoyed interacting with customers and bringing them food that would make them full and happy
What I wish was different
I wish that responsibilities had been more clearly assigned. I was put in several situations where a coworker would place their duties on me without me realizing it.
Advice
Make sure to have clear communication with the guests and coworkers. In a fast paced environment, you need to deliver food effectively and correctly.

Nothing really, it was a great summer!

What I liked
I liked the casual work environment and the ability to earn a large sum of money in a short time.
What I wish was different
It was an incredibly toxic work environment. I was treated poorly and unfairly on a consistent basis by the management.
Advice
I would advise everyone to stay away from this location as an employer and to ask around before they commit to a job. Do people like the management? How about the employees? Do people look anguished or upset at work? Do they appear apathetic and disgruntled?
