At the beginning of the year, I thought that this class was going to do at least decent with the company. We have very different people in the class which I thought would bring diversity to the company and a variety of networking but it did the opposite. From the lack of people showing up, it was hard to keep deadlines and schedules.
The idea of being a breakfast service in Campbell was very good. It filled a want that the school had. You would think that it would have done amazingly well since we were the only ones offering food to the students in the morning, but there were a few things that could have been changed now that it is over and we have time to evaluate it.
This company although it did make some money, was kind of a flop. By the end nobody really cared if they had to work in the morning or had to do something to help the company. I think that better consequences could have been enforced to try and improve attendance. I know that I didn’t come to all of my shifts, but if there was a better initiative I would have for sure. The actual service and presentation at our location was well done I thought, it was just the “behind he scenes” part that was lacking greatly. Effort and staying on task is what brought us down the most I think. Being on time was especially challenging for this class and that made it difficult if it was a day to work in your departments.
After this experience, I don’t think I would want to do JA again. In entrepreneurship I would have been totally fine with doing what Ms.Hendren did before. That is what I was expecting and I didn’t like the company very much. I would take the class more serious and treat it just like other classes. If there was a way to make JA more serious and make it so that students would want to do it and want to do their best at it, I would maybe do it again. Overall the class was alright. Blogging I think was a good idea. I am not much of a writing person but I didn’t mind the blogs.
Overall the class was okay, even though I probably wouldn’t do it again. The people in it were great and I still had fun in the class.
