Restaurant cashier

May - August 2019 • Aurora, CO

What I liked

I liked how fast-paced it was; I was constantly completing tasks, and that made the time go by fast. I loved interacting customers, especially at the register and being myself with people.

What I wish was different

I did not really like the working atmosphere in that some of the people I worked with were not the friendliest and lots of them lacked professionalism. The management needed improvement and it was not very well run.

Advice

My advice would be to keep a positive attitude and be an example of what you believe. I noticed that being a member of the church and working there made me stick out more than I thought it would, but I was thankful that I felt comfortable enough to be who I was and not be ashamed of it. There were many times also that I felt down or stressed, but I found that when kept a positive attitude, it was so much more bearable.

January - October 2019 • Gulfport, MS

What I liked

I gained valuable leadership skills that will help me navigate future endeavors.

What I wish was different

I wish that my upper management team would have been more willing to work with college students.

Advice

Make sure you are very clear with your employer that school is the number one priority for you. If not, there is a possibility of a lot of miscommunication.
