Development in leadership, organization and other skills

A strong sense of camaraderie, teamwork and community

There are many things I love about working at Wingers. I love the rush of making food and trying to get it out on time or the challenge of prepping everything before the shift change. I love learning the new menu items as they come and how to make the modified versions of older recipes. I love the variability of days being so busy with things to do and days that I have enough time to clean the whole store, top to bottom. But more than anything, I love the people I work with at Wingers.”
