The management isn't the best and the manager doesn't always listen to the employees' needs or availability
Advice
Take the job seriously. Even though it is a minimum wage job, I gained a lot of work experience and it has taught me how to manage my time and finances.

Food Service Worker
August 2018 - September 2019 • Fort Collins, CO
What I liked
They were very open with my schedule when school started back up. The environment to begin with was very laid back.
What I wish was different
The managers changed and they immediately expected us to remember all the changes to the rules they implemented over night.
Advice
Work in a professional environment. Anything else is just full of stress.

Overnight Baker
August 2022 • Keizer, OR
What I liked
It is an independent job working overnight. I have a daily routine I follow and don't have to wrry about customers.
What I wish was different
I wish there was managers on site I am alone all night, they are on call and often helpful when you call but not always able to help. I also feel everyone is trained differently but wexpect the same quality from everyone.
Advice
Take your training serious it's one month and worth it. This is a job worth your time if it fits you but you are alone in a building all night iwth an alarm system make sure you are comftorable with that.
