Sales Associate (Former Employee), Pekin, IL – March 24, 2013
Pros: i got breaks, discount on food when working
Cons: pay was not what it could have been for what i did
Steak-n- Shake is always a busy place. I like that fact because I like keeping busy. It was a friendly place most of the time. Everyone has their days. The hardest part of the job was keeping up with more than one task if I was the only one running breaks for everyone. The most enjoyable part was hearing the customers tell me I was doing a really good – more... job and they were satisfied with everything I did – less
Customer Service Associate/Waitress/Trainer (Former Employee), Westfield, IN – March 13, 2013
Working with others as a team player and communication skills. The hardest was the younger high school kids that act in negative behavior and managers that don't help and are rude. Customer service was enjoyable! helping others is what I drive to do.
Server/Customer Service (Former Employee), Florence, KY – February 28, 2013
I made great tips at this job. The turn-over was fast. I was a shift leader, and a trainer. On thursday and fridays I worked doubles, on saturday and sundays I worked third shift but would usually come in during second. On third shift I would be the only server or have one more with me. I had to seat the tables, take the orders, deliver the food, make – more... shakes, and cash the customers out. 90% of the time I had lines out of the door, crazy drunk people, and always managed to make everyone happy. On certain nights (sometimes the weekends) it was just the drive thru person and I. So I would also have to cook my own food. In Florence Ky, Steak n Shake is one of the only places open third shift. It was very busy and a lot to handle. Also, after it died down I would be responsible for cleaning all the tables, doing all the fills, doing the dishes, the floors, the bathrooms, high chairs, kids packs, garbage inside and out. Also, counting down the drawers and going to the bank. It was a lot to deal with, but I really enjoyed my job. – less

Certified Kitchen Trainer (Former Employee), Bradley, IL – June 28, 2012
Pros: free food
Cons: short/no breaks, expect the least common denominator
Restaurants can be tricky places to work if you are a mature adult. Be prepared for highschool level antics and call-ins aplenty. The uniform is absolutely terrible.
