Front Desk Agent

What I liked

Friendly staff, Flexible hours

What I wish was different

Understaffed at times. Training was done through an online simulation and it was really long and time consuming.

Advice

Try to pay as much attention as possible during the online training because it will help you once you're working in the front.

Really fun and entertaining job! Never a dull moment.

Sales and Event

June - August 2018 • Fairfax, VA

What I liked

I enjoyed working with different kinds of events and gaining new experiences.

What I wish was different

That management was not very good and lacked what I would call a support system for its employees. Also, despite the fact that it was an internship, I know people before me have gotten paid during their internship there. As a 23 year old in college, working 40 hours+ a week, unpaid, was very very very hard.
