Sonic Drive-In Employer Reviews

Being a cook, you have to learn to take orders from customers, cook food from menu, keep kitchen stocked and clean. I learned many house hold things form it. The Management could of been better, and not have had favoritism. Working with others depended on their moods. Hardest part was constant food rush with night shift, but made it go by quick. I enjoyed – more...  preping things for next shift. – less

Is a very busy fast-paced environment but very fun to work at. Learned how to take, prepare, serve, and deliver orders. And count back money also learn how to work as a team as well as individually.

I enjoyed this job very much, but we had poor management and it just didn't work out for me.

probably my favorite job but didnt get along very well with one of the managers.....gets really busy at times and can put you under alot of pressure....i really liked the people on a day to day basis and made good money.

I really enjoyed my first job. I would say it was my hardest because it was my first. I loved my managers not only because they were nice, they were stern. We had a businesslike frienship and I love it.
The hardest part of the job was closing, because we had to clean alot of machines, and at the same time help customers. My favorite part of the job – more...  was mixing drinks. I learned from them that work is not all play, yeah you can enjoy yourself, but you should take your job seriously. – less

A very typical day is a good day at work when all customers are happy at all times.My co-workers are very nice and freindly.The very enjoyable part of my job is that i get to work with the people around my town and people from all over.Management is great.

My typical day of work at Sonic was going in usually about 6 am and getting out at 2pm. I learned how to work board and count and give back the right amount of change without a cash register. The management and co-workers at Sonic were amazing. They were a good team to work with. The hardest part of my job was rush hours. We had morning , lunch, and – more...  drink rush. It was really hard especially when we only had a maximum of 5 people working. The most enjoyable part was meeting new customers and having a good time while working. – less

Great place to work if you want to do fast food. Nice managers great food cooked right.

When i come into work i have to count my drawer for the day and be sure that all of the money ran for that shift so far is there. I then have to set positions for each shift and perform pre-shift meetings in order to motivate the crew. During these pre-shift meetings i am also able to go over each employees position for the day and set goals for the – more...  end of the day. I also have to run a position while being able to mange the rest of my crew. At the end of the day I create a deposit to run to the our bank. I calculate labor to see what percentage of profit made goes to the employees. Ever since i have been a manager there i have always been respected by all of the employees, I try to be the best I can be at any job i do. As a manager I try to work as part of the team while also being a leader. The most difficult part of my job is dealing with irate customers, although I can almost make every customer happy, there are some that simply cannot be pleased. Some irate customers can cause a day to become stressful. The best part of my day is that i try to create a stress free environment. My crew works as a team and we like to have fun. Happy employees make better workers, I am able to do this but I am also able to keep a more professional manor over the crew – less

Quality of life was something that is not cultured, need to be more of a balance and more accountability on subordinate managers.

very difficult performing all of my task on skates. i also loved meeting new customers and satisfying them. i disliked having to be the one resposible for an incorrect order

A typical day when you walk in the door. Get apron on and change dispenser. Start delivering orders immediately depending on how busy location is. There is a high chance of conflict between other co-workers. Hardest part of the job is the pressure you have to work under. Most enjoyable part is the tips.

Sonic was about making sure every customer was satisfied with their timing and food. That was what i actually enjoyed most. They days went by so fast because I was constantly busy. It taught me patience as well as the beauty of multi-tasking.

Long hours usually everyday, and there was hardly a time of not being busy. Very hard to find time off for school, or anything. Management pushed the employees very hard, and made it very clear that the store would be good at what we were doing.

Love leading the team to success. I go to work and set daily goals for the crew(delivery times, labor, and food cost). We set up indidual goals for all shifts throughout the day. The crew is awesome and willing to work hard and motivated for advancement.

 Bag and distribute food/drink orders to the appropriate vehicles.
 When conducting the switchboard, I input orders and collect the money.
 During closing, assist with the breakdown and cleaning of the equipment and machines.

my days were always busy. i knew exactly what needed to be done the following day. always helped employees with any questions or concerns about their hours, etc.

I came to work, greeted everyone and looked on the board to see what i would be doing that day. My manager was always in a good mood and talked to everyone with respect. I got along with my co-workers very well. I enjoyed interacting with the customers.

It was a fun job and it taught me a lot of customer service skills.

my duties were to run the shifts and order inventory weekly. I also opened several stores and trained both crew and managers.
