Outpost Grill employs some of CSULB's finest

The Outpost Grill at CSU Long Beach is not only a good place to eat, but apparently it's also a good place for employment. The menu, although pretty basic, is made up of many different food choices that are popular amongst the students, and even teaching staff. The location is good too, especially for someone like me because it is directly located next to the SPA buildings (were all of the Journalism courses are held). 

Like the majority of the other places to eat on campus, the Outpost Grill is basic food service: You order your food, wait until your name is called, and throw your own trash away at the end of your meal. So, unlike a typical restaurant, the employees take your order at the register and call your name when it is ready.

Even though it is a grill on a school campus, the way it runs is similar to any type of restaurant or snack shop. The hiring process is similar and the facility is ran by a manager. 


"Working on campus is very convenient", said Joanna, 21, a current Outpost Grill team member, "I generally work after I get done with my classes each day, and sometimes Fridays. But like any job, taking 18 units and working can sometimes be hard". 


Although work for a student, like Joanna, is located on property where she also completes her academics, like any other job doing both an be stressful and at time overwhelming. Especially taking 18 units a semester, which alone is extremely difficult. Her plate is full!


Nonetheless, everyone who works at this eatery have made my experience a good one, and the turkey club sandwiches are delicious.
