Okay place to work
Food Preparation (Former Employee), Visalia, CA – February 19, 2013
Pros: not a bad job
Cons: not a great job
Most of the girls were very mean to me at first as they don't like new employees unless they are a friend of theirs. This wouldn't have been so bad, if I didn't work with them all the time and in such a small workplace. They were kind of out of their way mean. But eventually they gave up and became nice as if nothing happened. Which was fine by me as – more... I was just there to work. Manager was nice and pushes you to do your best and is understanding. Not great hours, but not terrible either. At the time, I needed more hours but at least it was something. Keep yourself busy as there is always something to do. Fast paced and a lot of dishes to wash at all times. You're always either prepping food or cleaning. This job was just okay. – less

Active surroundings, Fun, and fast paced.
Manager (Current Employee), Crystal, MN – February 5, 2013
Pros: flexible schedule
Cons: not enough breaks
A typical day at work is busy when you working by your self. The hardest part of the job is when you get done with super bowl and another special is three days after that.

Enjoyable environment
Shift Manager (Former Employee), Overland Park, KS – January 25, 2013
Pros: education, benifits, awesome crew
Cons: all teens working, so a little extra drama.
I loved working at papa murphys. We had our drama, but I had an amazing 2 years there. The owner and the managers are awesome and fun. They did a good job of rewarding us for our good work, and making holidays and special occasions fun and festive. It was a positive atmosphere and I learned a lot working there, from pizza making skills, to management – more... skills. The crew is fantastic and gorgeous, Papa Murphys is the best pizza place ever!!! – less

productive and fun work place . fast paced with a can do attitude
Owner (Current Employee), Mukilteo, WA – November 28, 2012
Pros: the owner treats you like family
Cons: health care after 90 days
Fast paced to hurry and get things done before the rush. Everyone has a can-do attitude and they are all like family, willing to help each other. Most employees have been there for years and are welcoming to new comers. They have quite a few high school employees that have been there since there freshman yr. and take pride in their store. The best part – more... is when the rush hits and it get’s crazy busy!! Like a well oiled machine they get the job done! – less

Great place to work if you're in school!
Crew Member (Former Employee), Puyallup, WA – November 26, 2012
Pros: free mini pizza, great and clean enviroment.
Cons: no lunch breaks, no benefits, not garunteed hours.
A typical day at work for myself, was coming in, getting changed into my uniform then looking at the position chart. Normally, I was always on the register because I was and still am very good at talking to people and cash handling. I do it with such fluency that its uncomparable to some of the others. What I learned while working at Papa Murphy's was – more... that you need to have patience. Sometimes, its going to be hard to work with others or to train anew member, but you need to be patient because not everyone will pick up on things as quickly as some! I also learned how to prepare a pizza! As a matter of fact, there is alot of preparation that goes in to pizza, and even running a store smoothly. I also learned how to cash handle and run the register on my own with out any issues. The management there was great! They were always so understanding and easy to work with! MY co workers were pretty much the same, always fun and energetic and fun to work with! we always made the best of every situation! The hardest part of the job was not getting frustrated with some of the customers. Most of them were great and super nice, but in every workplace there are customers that arent always a joy to have, so you really need to be able to take a deep breath and remain calm! The most enjoyable part of the job is becoming like one big family. thats how it is there, everyone is so sweet and fun to work with. – less

Fun workplace
Shift Supervisor (Former Employee), North Ogden, UT – September 25, 2012
Pros: discounted pizza, co-workers
Cons: horrible management
This job was fun. Getting to work and knowing everyone you work with is awesome. On slow days we all got to talk to each other and joke around. Management really sucks. There was never follow through on their part. The hardest part of working there was during super busy times of the day and angry customers. Most enjoyable part fun and good co-workers.

Always smells fabulous in Papa Murphy's
Pizza Artist (Former Employee), Pendleton, OR – September 10, 2012
Pros: meeting new people and working with great people
Cons: healthcare
When working at Papa Murphy's you always have the people that complain and you just have to roll with it. Not letting them get under your skin know you are doing what you were told and not what they think is right. The co-workers I had the chance to work with were very enjoyable people, always willing to help with anything they could. I would say hardest – more... thing about working at Papa Murphy's is being there for eight hours and not eating the pizza.The best part is when you have people that come in once a week for the same pizza and when you give it to them they smile from ear to ear with excitement. – less

It was an OK job!
Prep. Cook (Former Employee), Avondale, AZ – August 27, 2012
Pros: pros, you could take home old food and the people were great. that's about it.
Cons: no pay raise.that's about it.
Well to start off. I got this job through a friend. Things where good at the beginning and I though that I would advance in this job really fast. I was wrong! Every time I was told that I'd be getting a pay raise, I would ask when. So I got passed up on my first pay raise, then two months went by and I asked again when they were going to evaluate me – more... on my performance. They keep telling me that they would do this when they had time, so I got held up on my pay raise again for another two months. So I was getting feed up with this and fast. So I saved up my last few pay checks and started doing my GED. – less
