The money and my coworkers.
What I wish was different
The management has been extremely chaotic so having a good set of strong managers would hep a lot. It's less of a problem now than when I started.

Busy job so it makes time go by quickly. I get a 401k by working for them which helps me save for my future.
What I wish was different
I wish that I had found a job more related to my field of study.
Advice
It's an simple job with decent hours. If you are looking for a consistent way to earn money this is a good choice; however, it will not further you in your field.

April 2017 • Fort Walton Beach, FL
What I liked
I enjoyed interacting with guests, keeping my workspace clean, and the novelty of a job in the service industry. It teaches one respect, conscientiousness, and work ethic.
What I wish was different
Included gratuity in parties of large people, or requiring a single check for large parties. They take up a lot of time and a lot of work for the risk of not getting tipped for whatever reason the guest decides not to tip for.
Advice
Always keep a good attitude and be happy in everything that you do. People feed off of your vibes and we can all bring about a better place simply by keeping a better attitude. Fake it 'til you make it- it's a real thing.

What I liked
I likes interacting with my coworkers and being able to talk to new people every day.
What I wish was different
I wish I wouldn't have worked as much as I did, I put too much pressure on myself.
Advice
Waitressing can be very stressful, but it can also be very rewarding. The income isn't always steady; the pay is $3.17 an hour + tips. So if you have a good day, you can potentially make more than $200, but on a bad day you may make only $20.
