Taco Bell
Taco Bell (Current Employee), Heidelberg, BW –
Pros: 50% off
Cons: 30 minutes
Work is always busy, the soldiers will give attitude but me and my co-workers continue to maintain a positive attitude. The hardest part of my job is cleaning the lobby some people make the biggest mess but if im on the schedule to work the lobby then trust me i will get the job done! I enjoy my job because me and my co-workers really get along, we – more...  work as a team and we get things done on time, my managers are the coolest ever they really look out for me and the other employees they make sure we do our job. – less

Plan your day prior before you arrive to work.
Burger King Management Program (Current Employee), Fort Hood, TX –
Pros: i receive 50% of my meal at break time.
Cons: hard to get promotion, not being praise by your peers for your hard work.
A typical day for me woke up on Monday morning at 4 went to work until 10 and get the store ready for business. I love to see the soldiers and customers happy and with a smile in their face in the morning when they arrived to the store. I get alone pretty well with my co-workers for me I like if I am busy working I want to see everybody busy doing something – more...  as well. The thing I enjoyed more was my deployment to be out there with the soldiers in the war zone make me appreciate the men and woman for for their hard work to our Nation. – less

Working with the military is fun.
Food Service Worker (Current Employee), Fort Gordon, GA –
Working for AAFES can be a blast. The soldiers and civilians there can really make a person's day. AAFES has the most repeat customers that I know of and they begin to become family after so long.

Productive
Sales Associate (Current Employee), Fort Rucker, AL –
Pros: customers
Cons: don't get enough hours
I love with working with my co-workers. My day is different cause we have to work as a team so whatever has to be done in the store we have to work together to finish. The hardest part of my job when everyone don't work together. Most enjoyable part is working with customers to help them with their needs

Wrong age and possibly wrong race
customer service representative (Former Employee), Fort Lee, VA –
Pros: health insurance, vacation, sick leave
Cons: confusion, utter chaos, lack of training for promotions, wrong age and/or race
I went to work for them hoping to make it a career but, quickly found out that unlike their website stated, a promotion was highly unlikely. There was a huge lack of communication and if you asked a question, you may get many conflicting answers. There were several young, or different races, that did nothing and suffered no consequences. I was informed – more...  by the main office in Dallas that because of my superb work ethics, and I did give a two week notice when I left, that I was rehirable but have applied to many positions at Fort Lee, Va. and have only gotten "sorry, we have selected another qualified candidate" responses. If I do apply in the future, it would only be for a laugh! – less

Customer Service Representative (Former Employee), Ramstein, Germany –
During a typical day I helped customers with transactions ranging from sales/returns to credit card & school lunch payments. I also processed currency exchange transactions. I worked with an extremely diverse group of people from all over the world. The hardest part of my job was sometimes finding the answer for my customer. The most enjoyable part – more...  was getting to know so many different people on a day to day basis. – less

Departmental
Reach Lift Driver/ Receiving (Former Employee), Waco, TX –
Pros: stayed busy all day
Cons: very departmental, poor management, supervisors
I made the top 5 seven different times. Each time I interviewed for a foremans position and was beat out of the position every time. I went to the DCM and brought this to his attention and he said that they wanted people with less experience to fill those positions so that they could train them the way they wanted them to work.
