Wendy's Salaries, Bonuses and Benefits.

What are the average starting salaries, bonuses, benefits and travel requirements like at Wendy's?

What do you like best about working at Wendy's? Are there any great perks or special treats for employees?

Well depends I guess on who you are, who you know and what skills you have. Like the owner I work for, GMs get average of $700 to $900 a wk, Co-managers get $600 to $700 a wk, Asst managers get $500 to $600 a wk, and shift managers get $8.00 to $11.00 per hour. I have been there for more then 2 yrs and have Asst manager experience and yet I am still only at $10 p/hr. Our franchise crew members get a 50% discount and managers get free meals. Sometimes the owner will slurge for baseball tickets but thats not too often. We do have some fun but it can be more stress then its worth at times. Hope this helps.

our managers make at least 800 a week...closers make at least $8.25 an hour....regular day shift employees start at $7.75 an hour.

and umm...from what i see, no benefits....just a 30 minute break, and 50% off the dollar menu....

which, actually is what i like the most about working at wendys...cuz i'm used to working at places where if i brought the food i sold, it would cost me "2 hours" of working....

where as now, if i wanted to get a sandwhich and some fries, its less than 5 minutes of my hourly rate.

Well The one I work at, crew gets 6.00 an hour! Closing gets 6.25. I have a family member there who has worked for them for 15 years, she makes a measly 9.75 an hour.

Gaylord cannot spell! You f_c_ing retard!

There are actually different tiers of pay structures for corperate Wendy's. A,B,C, and D. Not too much difference between them tbh.

the following is for corporate stores...

District Manager avg pay in 2006 was 72748 per year
Training Store manager avg pay was 52386 per year
General Manager avg pay was 46800 per year
Co Manager avg pay was 36916 per year
Assistant Manager avg pay was 31190 per year
I have no information on corporate shifts, but I imagine they hover around 10 per hour.

The pay does not include bonus factor, which can be up to 8-12 grand per year extra depending on your position. Realistically, expect about 6 grand per year at the GM level if you always hit bonus at 100+ percent.

At the DM level, you also get a gas card, vehicle allowance, and stock options. When you start, you may get a relocation package at around 3 to 5 grand (DM and up)

DVP's can easily hit 6 figures starting out in base compensation.

For those who are waiting to get promoted:

Wendy's makes you earn every promotion you get. You will never get promoted simply because the store is lacking personnel, or at least that's been my experience.

I agree, 9.75 per hour is slight, but that certainly doesn't make them a loser, it just speaks to the inadequate pay structure at the hourly level ;)
