The Italian restaurant Carmella’s that, us in New Hartford all know and love was founded in New Hartford, New York in 1985. Its website says that it was created by Mike and Carmella Ezzo.

I talked to an employee from the local restaurant, and she had positive feedback about the workplace.
“I love my job,” says Jordyn Cole, a current hostess at Carmella’s. “I think it’s a great place to enter the work force.”
“The management is great,” says Jordyn when I asked her about her experience working there. “They help me when I need it, are always available to talk about anything I need, and are extremely flexible with my school schedule.”
This could be extremely helpful to any students looking for a job.

I also talked to a former employee who was a busser at the time. Although she quit because she had to move, she had a couple different opinions than her old co-worker and friend, Jordyn, did.
“I don’t think I would ever want to go back to Carmella’s.” states Trinity Mathias. “It’s kind of long hours if that’s your first job.”
She also had some good experiences along with the bad while working there. “You definitely develop a lot of people skills,” Trinity tells me. “I think if I didn’t have that job I wouldn’t have gotten over my social anxiety,” she comments. “I feel like it was a pretty good first job. I don’t think I would have rather done anything else. That was like the easiest thing I could have done,” Trinity said.
Carmella’s is one good example of a good place to work for students looking for a job. They represent a good experience for restaurant jobs and a flexible schedule for students who are busy with school.
It’s useful to find a job that can fit your schedule and that can be helpful to you in your life. You should try to find something that fits your schedule.
In the end, between the few bad and many good experiences, it would be a good idea to apply to Carmella’s if you’re looking for a first job. It can give you some good experiences that can help you in life, even if, when you apply, it isn’t your first job.
