Food service worker

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people, work environment. It's a real job. Not glamorous or exciting but regular. The day is over before you even get a chance to think about how much work is involved preparing lunches for a high school cafeteria. No one can get away with being a slacker. There is too much to do.

Cons

Wages low, seasonal hours, training on the fly, wish it was closer to home. Gas for the commute is eating up my take home pay

Not a bad job during college.

Catering manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The hours are flexible and you meet plenty of new people. The pay is better than work-study jobs.

Cons

The hours can be rather long and endless customer service can wear your soul down. Some of the people that you get to work with (temporary employees for example) don't care much about their work and as such do not work hard.
