Advice

Don’t apply unless you know you can handle a fast paced, customer centered environment. Do your best to stay on top of your work but also be efficient. And most of all, it’s a terrible time if you aren’t friends with your coworkers so make it enjoyable and make friends!

Restaurant Shift Leader

May - August 2020 • Kalamazoo, MI

What I liked

I had been with Dairy Queen so long that I could essentially do whatever I wanted. It was a pretty lax job to have.

What I wish was different

When it got busy, it was BUSY. I wish I had more help at times.

Advice

This is definitely not a job for everyone. I really learned why some people refuse to work in food from my time here.

What I liked

I liked the fast-paced environment that I was already comfortable with, and the variety of jobs available for me to complete during my shift.

What I wish was different
