If you had to choose, would you work at Chipotle, Old Navy in a mall, or a hospital?

Trying to see what I should choose as a part-time job while going to school and Why?

 

[Monatsende]

Because then you`ll always have something to eat...

 

[Tornado]

There are sick people in hospitals. Ew.

 

[The Bman]

Well people are likely to eat Chipotle, get sick from it and puke on their Old Navy jeans, and then go to the hospital for stomach problems.

 

[Adamgp]

Chipotle.

Making burritos sounds like a more fun way to work your way through school than folding t-shirts or emptying bedpans.

 

[playnthru]

I'd choose the Hospital.

Young nurses wearing scrubs are far hotter than greasy burritos chics and ditzy Old Navy high school girls combined.

I don't know, I've been to some Chipotle's that had some nice girls working there. I used to go to the one by my old work way too much just for one reason.

 

[Slash]

The mall.

 

[Jahgee]

Whichever is offering me the most money

 

[Joel]

Assuming they're all just part time jobs (as in the hospital job isn't intended to become a career), Chipotle hands down.

 

[TB]

If you're planning on pursuing a career in health care, the hospital job will prove beneficial in the future.

If you're not, I'd go with Old Navy as fast food has always looked like a crap job to me.

Thankfully in these times people review everything. Obviously since I don't know what hospital you're talking about and the fact there are plenty of different jobs it's hard to comment on it.

Chipotle
Old Navy

Based on the reviews, both are probably fine for a part-time job. It seems like Old Navy would be a better fit if you want a job that's willing to work with you scheduling wise. Pay wise, they are probably about the same (minimum wage) until you work there for awhile.

I would personally go for Old Navy as I always hated going home smelling like food and being covered in grease when I worked at McDonalds.

I'm assuming you're pretty young if retail & fast food are 2 of your options. If so, I'd go with the hospital as I doubt you'll be permitted to do a whole lot of "hands-on" with patients, but will still serve as great experience on your resume. I worked part time in a hospital years back & was in the delivery area where all the medical supplies were brought in and had to sign in/take stock of everything and notify doctors, nurses, and everyone else their orders had arrived. It was essentially replacement items like pens, tubes, needles, think I remember a container that had IV bags as labeled inside. Other things like drugs/medicine very, very rarely came through because they were supposed to be taken directly to physicians upstairs or the ER, not us.

It was a very different look at a hospital, but it wasn't all that social/exciting if you need that in a job.

 

[Omnis]

Tryna figure out why you don't try the paper.

 

[Exorcet]

Which ever is not fast food. Fast food has been the most miserable job experience I've ever had.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

I am trying to decide which employer would be best for me, a school student who is looking for part-time work, from the following options: Chipotle, Old Navy, or a hospital. As I am struggling to make up my mind, I would like to ask the forum for some help, please.

I fixed that for you.

Ditto. I worked at Wendy's for only a month before I quit, it was that hellish.

 

[Chrunch Houston]

I worked at Wendy's for two years. It was really tough during the rush.

As soon as I turned 18 I got a job delivering pizza. Tips are great!

Hospital will look best on your resume by far so that's something to consider. It'll also give you a taste of what it's like to work in a large organization where you are just one of hundreds of staff. That kind of experience early on in my life propelled me into self-employment later on and some of my friends went in the opposite direction, preferring the safety and security of a larger organization. Old Navy in the mall probably offers the most fun because it's not stressful like fast food, you get to wear decent clothes that won't get dirty and Malls are crawling with members of the opposite sex in your age group. Fast food would be my last choice. I never worked in fast food, some of my friends have and said it was a good experience for the most part, but still, it would be my last choice.

Okay, let's be practical for a moment: you're talking about three employers, but do you have an offer from each? Or are you wondering which one to apply to? Because if it's the latter, the job market is so competitive that you can't afford to pick and choose. If you're serious about finding work, apply to all three (and more) and take the first offer that you get.
