A Look Back on My First Job
Pros: Excellent starter job, trained employees very well, paid for what you did, and created an environment in which learning to deal with massive amounts of customers on a daily basis was greatly appreciated many years after I left the job. Showed me what it means to be a good employee, how to rise through the ranks, and what not to do as an employee. The management was phenomenal, outside of one or two members, but they were all very good at keeping their cool and jumping in to help out during busy rushes.
Cons: the cons are mostly all due to the stress of the environment in which I worked. The particular store i worked at is one of the busiest stores i had ever seen, let alone worked in. The rather angry customer base, long hours, and the lack of willing and hard working employees at the time made it extra stressful. The store felt too small for the customer base in which it was handling and at the time the menu was much larger than it is today, emphasizing the compactness of the store.
