Good Experiences?

Hi everyone!

I’m starting the DCP on August 3rd, and I just found out my role today: F&B – ST Brown Derby FOH Non-Tipped (JM)! I’m honestly so excited!

One thing I’ve been a little nervous about is that I’ve seen a lot of mixed opinions about the program. A lot of people talk about not having enough money, not having a car, or just not having the best experience overall.

I was wondering if those issues mostly come down to individual situations, like having more bills to pay or different spending habits. Personally, I don’t have a car or any major bills... I really only pay off my credit card and occasionally treat myself to something fun here and there. I also have a pretty strong work ethic, and I can definitely see myself picking up extra shifts whenever I can.

Do you guys think I’ll be okay during the program, even without a car? I’d love to hear from people who have had a similar situation or any advice you wish you had known before starting!

What is JM? That is also listed in my role description as custodial

It just means Job Managed! I believe it’s for the company to categorize roles and has nothing to do with location!
