I liked how all the other employees and supervisors were very patient and kind when helping me get acquainted with the new work environment.
What I wish was different
I wish I could have spent more time learning how to refill supplies in the back room.
Advice
Don't be afraid to go inside a store or restaurant to ask about job openings. You'll never know what type of opportunities are waiting for you if you don't try looking for them.

What I liked
Fast paced and Co-workers were inviting
What I wish was different
Staffing and scheduling. sometimes the relationship between employees and managers could get hectic and scheduling wise I feel as though I was working more hours than I should have.
Advice
Be prepared to work. Overall, it was a good job pay and food wise and they take pride in their food so if you don’t understand that then it will be easy for them to pick you out. Also, depending on the demographic of the crew it can be a fun experience and so definitely would promote the job but choose your store and work schedule wisely! If you are looking into a fast food work experience then this would be a good entry level job just don’t let it overtake your study schedule and prioritize your time with this job. Everyone needs money as a college student but remember you have classes to study/ prepare for as well and summer should be a time to work but also explore events that relate to your future career (as well as a time to have fun).

Closing shift has to ensure that everything is perfect for opening. This was difficult given the short amount of time given after closing.
