I liked my co-workers and the part of the job that was dealing with people.
What I wish was different
Countless things. The hours were never consistent I would be there 3 hours after I was scheduled to be, the company policies are super strict, for example I couldn't wear nail polish.
Advice
Don't work there, and if you work in customer service be prepares to interact with some horrific people.

What I liked
Never got bored, always something to do, loved working with guest.
What I wish was different
Management. It sucked because nobody respected them.
Advice
If you’re not happy with a job, find a new one and leave. It’s ok to feel like a position is too much for you or that you deal with too much and don’t get paid enough.

What I liked
It paid well (mostly tips) and the people who worked there were very nice, it felt like a big family.
What I wish was different
I wished management would pay more attention to the quality of their employees. People who walk out in the middle of their shift should lose their job.
Advice
Don't take what your tables say personally. They are tired and hungry, and not really mad at you, they're just mad at their situation.

Waiter
June 2019 • Little Rock, AR
What I liked
-never bored
-money is great with tips (Fri, Sat, Sun consistently $17-20/hr)
-did not require experience
-Really flexible scheduling
What I wish was different
- When you're starting out its pretty emotionally taxing. People will get angry at you and this takes a while to get used to unless you're a very special type of person.
-There is a lot of work you don't get tipped for and you get paid 2.60/hr to do (server wage)
Advice
- When you're starting out you will make mistakes and people will get angry no matter what you do
