Food Service Worker

May 2018 • Auburn, AL

What I liked

Aramark was the new contractor that took over the Auburn Dining services in the summer. During the onboarding process, we discussed matching my current pay from the previous contractor even though I am a student worker, and it was over minimum wage. They kept their promise and I was happy about that.

What I wish was different

Advice

Be ready to do your absolute best at work and always go the extra mile when you can. Being nice to customers makes my experience working here worthwile, because the job is not burdensome due to the fact that my customers are happy!

Pool Lifeguard

May - August 2018 • Sol Duc Hot Springs, WA

What I liked

I got to live in Olympic National Park and spend all my free time hiking in the mountains and the rainforest, hanging out at the beach, or swimming and paddle boarding at a nearby lake. You got two days off a week and usually had your shift in the morning or afternoon which meant you always had half a day free as well. There was a really fun community of employees there because everyone lives together and becomes close.

What I wish was different

The management was lacking in my opinion, which can be stressful at times.

Advice

Be prepared to take advantage of all opportunities. You have a full summer to spend tons of time exploring the beautiful state of Washington. Try to bring a car if possible.

hostess

May - August 2018 • Gustavus, AK

What I liked

I loved being in the middle of nature. You work in a lodge that has an eight hour day boat tour to see the natural beauty of Glacier Bay and, of course, glaciers. My co-workers were amazing. I worked about 40 hours a week and on my weekends would go camping "up bay" (being dropped off by the day boat in to the woods). It is a small knit staff of about 50 people who become more like a family.
