Hectic
Cashier (Former Employee), Oklahoma City, OK – April 23, 2013
Co-workers are unusually laid back, very lax in performance. Hectic and often dramatic. Would not recommend if you are not a people person.

Fast pace Environment
Cashier (Former Employee), Houston, TX – April 5, 2013
Pros: family oriented
Cons: the unbearable heat
A typical day would include lots of counting either restaurant supplies or money for you register. Taco Cabana was my first job so I learned plenty of task and values such as ownership, intrapersonal skills, and integrity. My Co-workers were always older but we established a family oriented atmosphere for our customers the hardest part of the job would – more... have had to been the heat even in the winter the heat from those kitchens could sometimes be unbearable. the most enjoyable was the relationships of my co-workers that some I still have today. – less

Gather 'Round and Finish Up
Cashier/Line Server (Former Employee), San Antonio, TX – March 28, 2013
From the beginning, it was hectic trying to catch up on the last shift's slack, no matter which shift I worked. Nights were better because there were less people working which meant less clutter of precious space behind the counter. Intoxicated customers frequently complained about coworkers' bad service and in the end, the overworked managers could – more... only tiredly give away items or refunds. If you're tired of Bill Miller's entry level positions, don't apply here. – less

Very fun to work at, always enjoyable working with team members and management
Cashier/Shift Leader (Former Employee), Fort Worth, Texas – March 25, 2013
Nice, fast-paced work environment. Very busy a lot of times, but that was the best part in my honest opinion. Customer Service and getting to meet and know new people was the most enjoyable of the job. The hardest part was just learning new things, which were repetitive and gave you many chances to improve and sustain. Co-workers worked diligently, – more... and were always open to new and old work environments. They adapted well to changes in job procedures, and excelled in stellar customer service, which was motivational for me to improve my customer service skills to no end. – less

I am currently working at Taco Cabana as an assistant manager. I manage a total of twenty four (24) employees on a three shift circle.

I welcome that challenge and I am getting better at this aspect of my job. – less

Amazing workplace and nice people
Cashier (Former Employee), Webster, TX – February 6, 2013
Pros: lunch, breaks, respected, nice people
I loved working at Taco Cabana because the employees were nice and the manager and shift-leaders would help us when we needed it. The manager and shift-leaders demonstrated everything I would need to know to preform my job correctly. A typical day at Taco Cabana for me was taking customers' orders and handling money. Each day was fun because everyone – more... was enjoying it even though we were working hard. There wasn't really a very hard part of the job, and everything was enjoyable about it! – less

Great work experience
Hostess and Cashier (Current Employee), Dallas, TX – January 6, 2013
Pros: flexible schedules
A typical day at work involves getting ready for our guest to come in. Clean and maintain the salsa bar full. I have learned that its a fast paced job and I love how everyone helps out another. Management is good and the co-workers are nice and helpful and really outgoing. The hardest part of the job? The hardest part of the job was when I started being – more... in the Drive-Thru area because it was really fast. The most enjoyable part is when its busy and you have something to. – less

A job not worth the effort they demand and expect
Cashier (Former Employee), San Antonio, TX – December 29, 2012
Pros: you have a job
Cons: management, benefits, incentives, job security
I typically don't think badly of my employers, but this job was a grind to say the least. The management was absent 90% of the time and left the store operations to the middle management who were basically crew with extra duties. They demanded so much effort with little to no incentive to do your job other than to not get fired and that was even on – more... your first day of work. Supervisors were hostile and unnecessarily aggressive and when issues were brought up to the general manager he would laugh it off and do nothing. Also, sexual harassment was rampant as lewd comments were all too present at all times. – less

Constantly busy
FOOD SERVICE WORKER (Former Employee), Schertz, TX – November 19, 2012
Pros: meeting new people & good food
Cons: constantly busy & messy
Working at Taco Cabana was a real learning expercience as a first job because it can get busy at times and people can make messes and not say anything until you find out on your own.
