Pizza Delivery Driver
July 2019 • Springfield, MO
What I liked
The pay and the people were great. I also liked the driving part of the delivery process a lot, it was nice to get more familiar with the city and I like driving and listening to music.
What I wish was different
Sometimes the background noise of the machinery in the restaurant could give me a headache and depending on who was managing, sometimes things could get a little overwhelming and rushed.
Advice
Don't be afraid to call back to the store or to call the customer if you are having trouble with making a delivery, sometimes it can save you a lot of time, stress, and effort.

Server
June - August 2019 • Winchester, IN
What I liked
I liked taking on a new task. I had never been a server before or worked in the food industry. It was definitely a new experience to see the other side of the counter.
What I wish was different
I wish my salary was a little higher. We had such a low wage because they expected servers to make tips, but the shift I worked sometimes would have no customers. Therefore, we weren't making tips either.
Advice
My piece of advice would be to not slack off. Working in the food industry it can be very fast paced and it is important to satisfy the customer and keep the facility in clean conditions.

Restaurant Shift Leader
October 2017 • La Crosse, WI
What I liked
I like the responsibility, and being able to be the person that people go to to ask questions. Also, I feel I can really use my communication skills to problem solve, and I felt listened to.
What I wish was different
I feel I deserve to be paid more, however tips from waiting tables help. It also is very stressful when we are understaffed.
Advice
Ask lots of questions, make sure your needs are being met.
Long hours (4pm-2am some nights), daily wage really fluctuated due to tips, and they pay be vehicle depreciation
Advice
Be ready to work they're perpetually short staffed
