Extremely friendly coworkers. Fast-paced environment so I was never bored. Learned new positions over the summer such as Grill and Cash Register.
What I wish was different
I wish training new employees was more focused on, because newer employees were very slow and had so many questions post-training. Understandable though, because we were very understaffed
Advice
Be eager to learn and work fast!

Being able to manage many different tasks at the same time is very important. Keeping a constant eye on the line and how much food you have is critical.

It was a change of pace opportunity to engage with the community from food service and learn preparing techniques
What I wish was different
I wish I got an internship or research position back home.
Advice
Don't feel bad taking an entry level low skill job the summer after freshman year. It can be an eye opening experience in addition to a source of income.

Advice
Don’t be ashamed if your first summer job out of college isn’t a once in a lifetime opportunity. If you need money, getting a job at a place like Chipotle is perfectly fine. If you can swing a summer without a paycheck, try to get volunteer opportunities or internships closer to your field of study.
