Work Story

I thought that it would be good to go out and get a job at the age of 14. The only reason why I wanted to make this step was because I wanted to have my own money and be independent. I started working at hershey park at age 14, at a restuarant, working there for 4 years during the summer. I began as a food clerk, working at $6.00 an hour. I cooked and served food, cleaned, and help make the guests happy. After the first year and the start of the second I moved up in the ranking as an assistant team leader. Being an assistant team leader I was in trainging to be a supervisor. My pay raised too. Now that it was my fourth year working I am now supervisor for my restaurant making $8.50 an hour. I think that is pretty good money for my age and being only seasonal. Every year I go back my pay gets higher and higher. I've tried other jobs during the school year working at Finish Line, Target, and Giants but I realised that no one pays as good as hershey park. Its a fun experience because you are working with all you friends and you are in charge. The Hershery Park Happy Experience
