Jack in the box
Shift Leader (Former Employee), Chehalis, WA – November 10, 2012
Pros: benefits for shift leaders and above
Cons: trying to get enough hours
The Jack in the box at Chehalis was the best place I have ever worked. The employer is a really caring person and she treats her crew right. I enjoyed working there and feel like a dope for quitting.

Fun and fast paced work
Shift Leader (Former Employee), Florissant, MO – October 31, 2012
Pros: free lunches
Cons: no benifits and an immature work crew
I was the opening manager for this company. My day consisted of prepping the store for the days sales, handling bank deposits, train and discipling employees, and ensuring all food safety rules were followed. The management here was very good. The hardest part of the job was getting through the lunch rush.

They want what they want
Shift Leader (Current Employee), Woodland, CA – August 30, 2012
Pros: free food, my employees
Cons: sometimes no breaks, the blame game
As part of the managment team I go to work and get told how bad all the numbers are and how it's my job to make them better. I find it funny that I have to fix Drive Thru times for the with less than half the number of people than the morning shift had and I need to try to send people home early because labor is through the roof.
I find myself getting – more... in trouble for taking breaks and not coming in to "help" my crew on them while other shift leaders don't. It always seems like my manager is looking to blame the stores problems on others when we can all clearly see that it's her fault. I used to be angry about it. I've just decided to that moving on is in my best interest. Even though i will miss the employee I have come to personally care about.
I have found enjoyment in my job. I love the shift I cover and the couple of people I supervise. They mean a lot to me and though these rough time we've become really close and have become a stronger team because of it. When we focus our attention and try we have the best times of the whole store. We have become a very strong team and in so they tell me what i need to work on to be a better leader and I become better for them. – less

Fast paced Fast Food
Team Member (Former Employee), Pueblo, CO – May 27, 2012
Pros: half priced lunch, smoke breaks, good management
Cons: pay rate
A typical day at work would include taking orders (either in drive through or in the front counter), taking money, making change, getting food out in a timely manner, and being as courteous and polite as possible. I learned that no matter what, your customers are ALWAYS right, and that will earn you repeat customers every time. I also learned free samples – more... will usually increase sales of certain items. The hardest part of the job is dealing with rude and ignorant customer,s while the most enjoyable part can also be dealing with the customers. – less
