Fast-paced

Service Crew (Former Employee) - Sembawang - December 15, 2021

You have to memorize the entire menu to not make mistakes during order. It's fun walking here and there and serving food to people. Time flies very fast. Managers are very understanding and they cheer you up. You get to choose your roster as a student every week. Not a bad place to work in the neighborhood when you have school commitments. If you work for quite a long time, you can get a raise.

Pros

Free lunch, nice managers

Cons

Average salary is 6.50

Challenging but fun

Part- time waitress (Former Employee) - Sengkang - January 20, 2019

Working at swensens gave me an opportunity to learn to keep my composure and keep calm infront of customers. Having caring managers who would guide and provide advice helps keep the motivation high.
