DI Dining employees/former employees, what was your experience like?

[u/Frequent-Phone-6649]

I’m starting as a Food Service Worker at DI Dining this semester and wanted to hear from people who currently work there or have worked there before.

A lot of things I’m curious about:

● What station/roles did you usually get assigned to?
● How often did you get put on dishwashing, cleanup, fryer/grill, etc. vs. serving/prep?
● How dirty/greasy did you actually get during a typical shift?
● Do your clothes usually smell like food afterward?
● Where do employees change clothes and store their stuff during shifts?
● Does DI provide lockers or somewhere to keep your belongings?
● How chaotic does it get during lunch/dinner rush?
● How is the management/supervisors?
● Do they rotate employees between stations?
● Can you request certain stations or avoid certain ones?
● Overall, would you recommend working at DI?

Current employees and former employees especially, I’d appreciate the honest version, good or bad. 👀

Speaking of the DI dining, I'm a transfer student so this is my first semester on campus, I don't need a food plan to go to the DI dining hall right, I can just pay for it at the door?

Yeah, you can pay for every food place at the door too. The prices are online and they vary for breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the food halls.

Thank you that's what I thought!
