I loved the staff and management. Customers made my days fun and interesting.
What I wish was different
The amount of hours a day could have been longer but overall it was still good.
Advice
Make sure you are able to work efficiently with a team because that is most of the job! Working by yourself will get you nowhere.

Everything. I strongly disliked the job.

Being a host is a mistake. Do everything in your power to be a server at any restaraunt rather than a host.

Advice
Do not be afraid if you have never had a service job before. There is a lot of on-the-job learning that makes the transition easy. If you enjoy fast-paced environments, interacting with people, and having to think fast on your feet you should definitely consider this as a part-time job!

What I liked
The people I worked with and the fast paced environment. Also that it paid more than minimum wage with consistent 30+ hour weeks to save up money.
What I wish was different
Nothing, it was a good Summer job
Advice
If you are looking for a Summer job, start as early as possible to get the money/experience you are going in for. Remember that these jobs may not be what you are looking to do as a career, but it is equally important to put forth as much effort as you would any other professional job. Not only because it can give you a better experience and good recommendation, but also out of respect for the people who do have these jobs as full-time positions.
