Service Assistant

"Previously employed by Denny’s. Not much to say. Before then I was working for Bravo Farms, which I learned a lot about personal growth and growth with my peers. Why a tech job? I was part of a cohort with Geekwise Academy at Bitwise in Fresno. Many languages were introduced from basic HTML and CSS to Angular to PHP and Wordpress, Bootstrap. Some of the happiest times I’ve had recently is breaking code then fixing it."

Server

"The sole reason I work at Denny's is as a fill-in job. I have a Bachelor's degree...and serving tables just isn't what I went to college for. I appreciate the job and everything, but Denny's doesn't go out of its way to accommodate its employees...at all."

"As a server at Denny's, I received minimum wage plus tips. The tips were a significant portion of my earnings, but the amount varied depending on the time of day and day of the week. Overall, the salary was in line with industry standards."
