Hey Mike. I am supposed to get processed on the 29th of this month and start training the next day. I am looking forward to a great summer. It will probably be an improvement to where I have been working. So, are you from Ohio? I am from NY. Hope to with you. Reply to this and include your email because I receive my replies from this forum via email. Take care. Sheri

Jon's advice for new peeps:

1. Meet as many people as possible

2. Stick it out for the first few weeks - they're usually the toughest, but once you settle in you'll be glad you stayed

3. Try not to p*ss too many people off

That about sums it up really, just work hard and play hard and you'll be fine.

Yes...DEFINITLY give it at least 4 weeks before you say "I hate this" and go home, especially if you process in before Longaburger day. The first 2 weeks are absolutely miserable. First week is nothing but training and cleaning. Then Longaburger day, then the first day of public operation, then more cleaning/training, then daily operation begins.

Once daily operation begins, its not too bad, and after the first week, its pretty good. Then its all good after that for a couple months, and then burnout begins to set it.

If you're in rides, burnout can be helped by requesting time on other rides. I ended up working on about 15 rides last year.

Thanks for the advice. I am not afraid to work that is for sure. I am just so excited. The Point is a big improvement from where I use to work. I hope to have so fun this summer. I am up to the challenge of working at the Point and meeting new people. Email me sangel1075@excite.com... Thanks

just be yourself
