"I worked for Dining & Culinary services for 4 years. In that time I learned valuable life skills and made many friends. The only issue I have with working for them is that student employees are not protected and when Covid-19 affected our work, we were let go without notice. We were compensated for lost wages but with the abrupt closure many were left without jobs."
