    It was a great experience where I learnt so many things that I’ll never forget
    The good thingsWith being a family run business, I felt like apart of the family. They are very understanding of uni/school commitments and are happy to discuss hours that work with you. It is a very fun work environment with some awesome staff there too. The venue has many different working environments and I loved the different challenges that the different environments gave me. Also have to mention the delicious food.
    The challengesOnly challenging thing I can say is that there are late nights and you can be kept back a few hours despite what your roster says but that is hospitality and how it can be when it’s a customer based environment.
