    Wage per hour: 9 Number of hours per week: In the season of more than 60, sometimes 70 Average tip: It varies from 20-70 per night, with a timetable of $ 8 Neutral to positive, or negative, I do not know. In a word, toughening. Accommodation and two meals a day (it does!) Has provided the employer, it cost me $ 125 a week, and it was still a great deal. I lived in a house with 15 people from different parts of the world, although a large part of the Balkans. They are like a living room, two bathrooms, tv, refrigerator, microwave, stove we had. These two meals a day were terrible and horrible calories. For breakfast you serve the remains of breakfast for hotel guests and usually some sweet rolls that are not even cute is not tasty or anything. Only mass. Because all placed pound of butter! The first installment in a 10, the second in the 4th And if you take a little more than normal amounts of food, the wife of the owner will come, izbečiti eyes and say how much. Toughening. In 4 hours you serve the best chicken and green beans soaked in butter. At worst, peanut butter and jelly, corn dogs, grilled cheese or even a mass-GMO miracle. When the wedding, food is the best. Al only if the boss remember to invite you to come, if in the meantime, do not throw all that food. On one occasion in front of us threw two baking food because "we do not really do take-out." Toughening. If you hope to a fixed schedule, forget it. They give you the hours that suits them, you will have a meaningless break of several hours. The first few weeks we did not pay overtime, then we complained the agency and without a word they start to work, without paying the first few weeks.At the beginning you have barely hours, then the season starts in mid-July and then the madness, pout them for a day. In the end, you get a bonus of $ 500 if you were nice to them, if not 200 (luckily I was among the first group). The boss will stick your nose in your business, convened two-minute meeting at 6 am and things like that. They will know how you breathe, with whom you spend time. Everything. Some were lucky to find another, not to mention third job. But some did not found second job. Restaurant has a vast selection of wines, a few thousand. Wine cellar is huge, I rearranged the entire basement and cleaned, because it was a complete mess, that we end would not say no thank you, and the money that i do not talk. She will tell you not to stay too long, but to go home. Millionaires saving on every detail. Internet terible! I could not talk on Viber. On the island circulate a lot of money, so if you are not an employee of the Atlantic have a good chance to make nice money. Regardless of all this, the experience was wonderful. Bosses like that has a lot, but also beautiful landscapes and special people like here not really. I met friends for life, live to see the Milky Way to the smallest detail, to see the Super Moon, Red Moon, I'm standing on the cliff from which you only see the ocean, to meet silly Croat with whom I come from hatred to the living friend, Moldovans who for two months spoke english and on the first day did not know what it is lunch and what dinner, Jamaican that does not use a microwave and things like that because it's unnatural, an American who does not sleep, Bosnian, who works 3, sometimes 4 jobs, a bunch of people who came with dreams and the desire to achieve them. Many rebellious people, ready to joke, to laugh, to revolt, any undertaking. I saw San Francisco, New York, I saw a whole new world ... I gained 10 kilograms. But it was wonderful, and I'd gained another 50 for this experience if it's needed !!

    Wage per hour: 9 Hours per week: 55-60 Average tips: 12 Extremely negative and I would not recommend to anyone. Many would say that I am exaggerating, and that's not so bad, there are worse, but for me it was enough to make me feel bad. I'm just going to list the dashes: non-payment of overtime (they started to pay it after they were warned by sponsor without being up for the first month), shouting with the explanation that he can yell if he want because he is your boss (+ "I`m the owner of this god damn business "), the unequal treatment of Europeans and Americans, mockery, throwing food you pay with accommodation in the trash (man decided that he would not give it and threw it in the trash), avarice, your problems responds with" I don`t care "... there's Definitely would not recommend employer. As for work, on itself is not difficult, none of these positions that I mentioned. Simply, it is not hard, For me totally ok. problem is that, you have a lot of positions, but not enough hours. Enough to take you all day and you can not find another job, but do not collect a sufficient number of hours. (Eg. You work all day from 7 am to 9 pm, or you have a break from 2 to 6). What brought profits (which to me was ok, but it can earn much more) are overtime because they pay more (not that there are a lot, but are expensive, and should be required from the first week - be sure that you check the time card and check because they know to screw it up and take of the hours). what is positive about the employer is accommodation. You're paying it 125 $ a week, but this includes two meals a day (breakfast and lunch). The food is not great, but you get used to a little crying for my mother's kitchen and you survive. This is important because many had problems around food, and here you do not worry. Accommodation is ok. Shower is bad but you get used to. No stove, but not as necessary because of the included meals. Internet is poor and you have to stand in front of the house to catch it, but get used to it: D everything else is ok, sharing a room with up to two people in the house a total of 15 people, two bathrooms, a common living room with kitchen, washing machine and dryer, which are paid with coins. You get bonus. WAT is a wonderful experience and I would recommend it to all. To meet so many people live on another continent, to see and to travel, improve your language, create friendships .... priceless. Job as a job, accommodation and Block were ok, but the employer would not recommend to anyone. Good luck :)
