Counter help

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You get a lot of opportunities and some good experience. It's also fun to make the chow mien and rice. Even though I was counter help I would still help the back most of the time.

Cons

The managers expect a lot from you . Most of the time the managers are just in the back making chow mien mix and prepping vegetables
