What I liked

Very friendly staff/coworkers. Managers really care about their workers and like to get to know us and make sure we feel wanted at work. Very positive and supportive group. Works around your schedule and always respect time requested off. You are able to do homework when we aren't busy.

Hours do fluctuate depending on events, and it doesn't bother me, but it may bother some. Other than that they are super.

I choose a job that I had past experience in so not to add stress to my studies. Along with hours that wouldn't cause an overload when combined with my needed credit study hours both now and in the future.
