Pros
- A great environment to learn and grow with your peers. Management works well around your class and finals schedule, as long as you work with them. In hindsight, I appreciate how empowered I was as a Student Supervisor/Manager to help change our processes to improve our operations. - Management is firm but fair. You can tell they really care about the students working there. - You learn how to interact with all types of people in a safe environment. - You really bond with your coworkers. - It paid the bills during my college experience.
Cons
- I never wanted to eat at the DC. Not because things were unsanitary (although salad bar is just set up for failure, let's be real) but because you just get so tired of it. - The career workers were/are resistant to change. They tend to be set in their ways, and they know what they can and cannot do without getting fired. Many (but not all) career workers abused that knowledge. - The pay was not fair, when I worked there, for what they ask you to do as a Supervisor/Manager. Hopefully they've since improved that, but hey - it's a college job, and looks good on a resume.
