Host

July - August 2022 • Portland, OR

What I liked

The employees there were very fun and welcoming.

What I wish was different

I wish Olive Garden were run differently. Unlike other companies, hosts didn't get a share of the tips made, so you were expected to do a lot for minimum wage. They also make it very hard to work up the ranks.

Advice

Make the best of your experience, but there are better options out there.
