Pros
- Conveniently located in Washington, D.C. where access to Metro is easy. - Get to learn a lot whether you work in food service, cashiering, ice cream cart, utility, or in the kitchen. - Free food for yourself and co workers - Laid back managers and co workers (for the most part) - DC has a higher minimum wage than most states, so the pay isn't bad at all. - Scheduled for at least 35 hours a week
Cons
- It gets very busy, especially in the summer months. Customers can be sometimes be rude and arrogant - Many foreign customers who can't speak English and make it difficult to get work done - Favoritism among management and some have attitudes for no reason - Work on weekends and holidays - Lots of standing (but what can you expect from a cashiering job..plus you get used to it) - No service or wifi - AC can sometimes break - Smell bad after working there all day, like grease oil and chicken tenders - If you work ice cream cart you will be sitting outside in the heat. - Closing late after July 1 - Temporary job, season ends in November - Location. As I've stated before, working in DC can be convenient but your only source of transportation will literally be the Metro. No parking, too much traffic and if you're not a public transportation person riding the Metro everyday can be a drag
