This store was very double standarded
Sales Associate (Former Employee), Fleming Island, FL –
Pros: there was nothing good about working at this store
Cons: the employees they hired with a double standard, the management, and so on
This store is very twisted. They hired me and my boyfriend on the same day knowing we were dating, then the day before he was suppose to start they fired him because of his background knowing about it and then fired him but kept me. After a few weeks of working there, I found out that a girl there had the same charges as my boyfriend but she was hired.

New ideas on ways to cut...come from those who have never worked in a unit
General Manager (Former Employee), Several location, Texas –
Pros: insurance and 401k but for managers only
Cons: insurance and 401k for the team memebers
Long hours, have to work a lot of times with short staff because most can't control labor, you can learn a lot in a short period of time...co-workers come and go some store have a large turn over rate and others don't all depends on the management and how they treat people...the hardest part of the job trying to make the big wigs all happy 100% of the – more...  time in so many different areas of the job, and trying to make crazy unrealistic goals happen. The most enjoyable was meeting new people and getting to know those customers that come in day after day. – less

Good Job.
Associate manager (Former Employee), Cleburne, TX –
Pros: one free meal per shift, good atmosphere
Cons: no benefits, low pay
I worked at Whataburger for over 2 years becoming an associate manager. I liked it, I would probably still be with Whataburger if not for a mangement change. I worked 8 hour shifts doing various tasks like cooking,cleaning,and prepping food. I also had to do paperwork for the end of shift,day,and week. Management was great for most of my employment – more...  at Whataburger. – less

Pay was horrible, managers didn't care. Neither did workers.
Team Member (Former Employee), El Paso, TX –
Pros: discount on food
Cons: almost everything about working there.
The job was easy but I had no pleasant experience as an employee working there. Employees seemed to discriminate if I didn't speak Spanish. Management was even worse for the needs of employees. I brought certain issues to their attention and they pretty much ignored my needs, due to the fact that another member of management was causing the issues brought – more...  to their attention. The hardest part of the job was to even show up and stay there. – less

Overall / Overview
Cashier (Former Employee), Fort Worth, TX –
Pros: discount on meals
Cons: short breaks / benefits / scheduling
A Typical day at Whataburger can be challenging and motivated to reach a certain goal during the day when it comes to orders. I have learned every job function from cashier to food preparation. Management was very poor managing schedules and understanding emergency or unexpected incidents without being unfair to the circumstances. The co-workers I was – more...  surrounded with were very communicative, open minded, and optimistic. The hardest part of the job would be the evening rush and the most enjoyable part of the job was reaching a goal as a team and making sure we were all on the same page making an order. – less

productive and fun workplace
Cashier, customer service, cook (Current Employee), The Colony, TX –
Usually when you get there you have two hours to clean until you get busy. When it gets busy you have to multitask by cleaning, taking orders, talking to customers at the window, get food ready as well as make drinks. At whataburger all of our employees are fabulous, working hard as well as making the job fun. The hardest thing about Whataburger is – more...  to be able to take customers yelling at you if the oder is not correct or they are not satisfied. Overall Whataburger brings out the joy and values in people, especially the employees; it is a family oriented job. – less

Great Employees
Manager (Former Employee), Dallas, TX –
Pros: health benefits, 401(k) and profit sharing
Cons: policy enforcement, too much leniency
The best thing about this company is all the different people you get to interact with. Not just the employees but the customers. They are the heart of this business. The pay was exceptional although they are not great about rapid advancement. Due to the econonmy, the company had to make some financial cutbacks. Meaning do more with less labor.

Never will I work here again.
Crew/Customer Service (Former Employee), Athens, TX –
Pros: half off on food
Cons: send you home early, you don't get all of your hours.
I worked at Whataurger part time and they would let me work for 2 maybe 3 hours and send me home because their wasn't enough business there to keep me on the floor working. I left there so fast it was pathetic, my check would be 300 for 2 weeks.
