Stimulating Working Environment

I gained valuable work experience in the hospitality industry. I gained new management skills, and interaction skills, besides being an extrovert. The clients were somewhat fun to interact with. I got decent tips. The food would take long at times to be produced.
Pros
Fun team
Cons
Long Hours

Wimpy is a great place to work for.
Waitress (Former Employee) - Johannesburg South, Gauteng - 20 January 2020
Wimpy has taught me to be able to make as much sales as possible. It is a commission based environment so making sales is very important for yourself and for the business.
Wimpy has also taught me patience because you work with a lot of people who have different characters and personalities and your customers are also different.
