productive place to work, good hours
cashier (Former Employee), Ingleside, TX –
Pros: free drinks
Cons: short breaks, no discounts on food
I would go in and start my work day by clocking in getting my register set up, then i would just take orders all day. This was my first job, i learned to use a cash register and make ice cream.
Also how to carry trays without dropping food. The management and co-workers were ok, but as ingleside being a small town there was too much gossip. The hardest – more...  part of my job was making ice cream, i just could not get the hang of it. The most enjoyable was talking to the customers – less

Franchise had great owners
Supervisor (Former Employee), Bensalem PA –
Pros: great owners and good oppurtunity for advancement
Cons: can't say i have any
By far ten years later my favorite job ever. The owners I worked for were amazing. They let me at a very young age take the store over as if it were mine, I was trained in every area as to ordering budgeting and training and hiring employees. They only came in once in a while just to see how things were and if we were profiting. I learned how to balance – more...  my life and my work here. I also learned that if I was open to learning new things and taking responsibilty I can go anywhere in life. I would love to own the store I worked for as a teenager due to my personal experience. – less

Great place to work
In Field Marketing (Former Employee), Toronto, ON –
Pros: free ice cream
This was my first job and a great experience for customer service, and food and drink preparation. My responsibilities included opening and closing the store, setting it up for the day of work and shutting it down at night. I learned how to assemble and disassemble machinery, which shows that I am a quick learner. Staff was also in charge of making – more...  cash drops into the safe, and counting all money made at the end of the night. I am trustworthy and very experienced with handling large amounts of money. I worked as a team member and initiated and completed customer transactions quickly and accurately.

Dairy Queen was probably my favourite work environment. For the most part, the customers were friendly, and the staff worked very closely as a team. I loved my boss, and we still maintain a close relationship.

My boss at Dairy Queen was an extremely friendly guy who always made his staff feel comfortable. He rarely got upset, but when he did, there was no yelling. He would have a reasonable adult conversation to fix any problems. I felt comfortable enough to work one on one with him. Near the end of my time there he was not only my boss, but a good friend as well. He encouraged team work one hundred percent and motivated his staff to give their full effort. – less

Good Starter Job, Though i wouldn't want it for a Permanent Job.
Kitchen Worker (Current Employee), O'Fallon, MO –
Pros: great starter, teaches responsibility, easy work
Cons: only a part-time job, (nothing too much to complain about)
I believe that for a starter job, or a job in which you would like to make some extra cash, learn responsibility, and even begin some small payments, then this would be a great place to start.

In terms of being a "Part Time Job" That's exactly what it is and is great for College students, and/or people whom would like to partake in possible multiple – more...  jobs.

My input on all of the details may not be the best, for i have worked here for such a short time, but i believe it is indeed a great first "Official" job for me. I hope to find a better job though, one that fits the hours and payment in which i am looking for.

To sum it up in short: "It is an easy, great starting job and a great way to earn some spare cash. However, if you are looking for more of a full time job then this may not be the job for you. No complaints" – less
