I loved the people I worked with and the different aspects I learned about how a corporate business was run in the retail and restaurant realms. I also loved the different products in the store and learning about the principles of retail merchandising.
What I wish was different
I wish the pay was higher.
Advice
My advice is to go above and beyond the requirements of the position because it will help you in the long run. In my case, I was able to obtain very good letters of recommendation from this job which has helped me get into other positions on campus including my job at Campus Ministry and the Presidential Ambassador program.

The company was really nice to work with! They transferred me between a couple of locations while I was at college. The management teams were nice. The tips were great and the serving was pretty easy.
