"Great Company to Work for as College Student"Oct 21, 2019
I worked at Olive Garden Italian Restaurants part-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Olive Garden provides one of the most friendliest working environment for someone who has little experience in the food industry. I worked for Olive Garden for a little over 4 years and every year... has been a great experience with the company. The position requires great customer interaction and communication capabilities which allowed me to develop my customer service skills. Aside from development, the management team was very flexible with my hours to accommodate to my class schedule.
Cons
There is no downside to working for this company.
