What I liked
I like the people at work because I knew them at some point in my life.
What I wish was different
I don't have any issues at work, but I wish my managers hired more workers more sooner because a few of my co-workers quit during the summer and it gets busy on certain days.
Advice
Make sure the main managers treat the employees fairly and make sure to work as a team.

I liked how played back it was sometimes. It was slow in-between rush hours so it wasn't too stressful.
What I wish was different
I wish it was cleaner in the store

I would try to work in retail instead of the food industry. Customers can get really mad over their food.

May - August 2019 • Punxsutawney, PA
What I liked
I enjoyed the staff and loved how good they were working with my schedule, and other stuff I had to do while scheduling me a good amount of hours.
What I wish was different
I wish that the delivery drivers didn't have to do all the dishes because when it gets busy, they get backed up and can be a pain get finished later on in the night. So I think they should consider getting a dishwasher strictly.
Advice
You need to be a quick worker but at the same time to actually rush yourself because you don't want to drop and ruin a pizza or drink, or even drive to fast and get a speeding ticket. You just need to be efficient.

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.
