What I wish was different
The management could have been more professional and efficient. The lack of communication to employers and inability to maintain rules made work unappealing.

Fast Food Worker
August 2017 • Alhambra, CA
What I liked
The work environment is very friendly and fast-paced, allowing me to gain experience in the team environment.
What I wish was different
Recognition from supervisors. I feel great when I'm being told that I'm doing a good job. However, I didn't hear that too often this past summer. I received more compliments from customers than I did my managers.
Advice
It's tough at first adjusting to the fast-paced, High demand work environment, but once you get the hang of it, it's a really beneficial experience that could go a long way in my future career.

What I wish was different
I work in the Valley Plaza location and sometimes we do get customers who are really rude and sometimes try to start problems with the crew over ridiculous things. I wish the company would back up their employees more.

Don't take anything personal.

Service Manager
October 2018 • Tampa, FL
What I liked
What I liked about this job was it was a way for me to maintain busy as I stayed in the Tampa area during the summer. It allowed for me to still have a responsible as I did not take any summer classes alongside this job. It was a great way to meet new people and take work relationships outside of the workplace and allowed me to gain long-term friends who I am extremely grateful for.
What I wish was different
I wish I worked a little less as oddly as that sounds. I began to stress a lot about my performance at work which then allowed me to get distracted from other things such as my family relationships and things I should've been focusing on for me to succeed in the upcoming school semester.
Advice
A piece of advise that I would give is to not let a summer job consume your life. If you allow it to become a focal point in your present state of circumstances it will soon begin to become overwhelming and a distraction rather than a benefit.
