Food Service Worker
May - August 2018 • Lookout Mountain, GA
What I liked
I loved getting to know the people that worked there, interacting with students, and getting free meals and air conditioning.
What I wish was different
I wish it had been more organized in what I had to do- I just ran errands and did whatever people needed me to do without any clear objective. Also, the company had many policies and strange rules that they didn't explain why they were there.
