I've been working in minor league baseball now for seven years. This was by far the most rewarding job that I have ever had in my lifetime but was also definitely the most high-pressure and stressful job I have ever have. I learned a lot of very valuable lessons and grew a lot as an employee and as a manager over the course of my first year in this role. I loved how much responsibility I had and how I could look at my success by simply seeing how well the entire Food & Beverage Department operated each and every night.
What I wish was different
I wish that I would have been able to have had someone to advise me on a lot of the things I struggled with when I was first hired, but I think, in the end, it was much more rewarding to only have had myself to rely on.
Advice
I think an experience like this that gives you your first true managing experience and a great deal of responsibility may seem intimidating at first but I truly believe that if you fully embrace every aspect of your new role, it will allow you to be rewarded with levels of success and pride in your work that you have never experienced before.
