“Pros• Get to see and experience different part of the country for free (housing, travel, meals are provided)• Pay is good, and you are eligible for a nice bonus at the end of summer• Great dietetics experience - able to work with 1-2 RDs and handle many different cases of food allergies and intolerances• Learn to work with a diverse group of people and in a team (many international students on the team) - this is great to talk about in a job interview• Your ability to handle stressful situations under pressure greatly improves• You become more confident with your kitchen skills and knowledgeable about proper food handling practicesCons• Long hours (~50-60 per week) on your feet mostly, but you get breaks for meals and rest• You have to quickly learn on the job, but you will always be placed with experienced people who can help• Can be placed in a remote location for campMORAL OF THE STORY - Yes it's a difficult job and can be tiring, but it's extremely rewarding serving kids and it's only for 3 months of your life - you're going to make it. It is an invaluable experience where you will learn a lot about yourself: how you work in a team, your communication skills, your grit, whether you like the food industry or want to continue pursuing dietetics, etc. Regardless, you won't ever regret doing something challenging and I promise you'll learn something.”
