KFC Employee Reviews

Profit is far more important than execution and quality. They try to get away with only 3 employees running an entire shift. Raises promised never delivered

Decent starting job

Team Member/Cashier (Former Employee) - Grovetown, GA - November 29, 2023

Decent job just lots of drama and the environment is toxic. underpaid for the amount of work that the managers require of you. Requires DETAIL cleaning every day on top of regular job and regular required cleaning. I have been here a while and there has been at least 40+ people that have come and gone in the last 8 months. Overall toxic work environment. Would not recommend this job to a friend. Very draining job and definitely only good for a short period.

Pros

One free meal while working

Stressful

Associate (Former Employee) - Lowell, IN - November 29, 2023

The management claim to be team oriented but treat their employees like they are beneath them, they task you with duties outside of your work description and then yell at you when you're behind on your regular duties. Most managers are young and the maturity level is lacking. Poorly run, negative work environment, low pay, low moral.

Enjoyable and productive environment to all of us.

Team Member (Former Employee) - Sacramento, CA - November 29, 2023

What is the best part of working at the company?The people, I really enjoyed talking and working with them and they were super nice and helpful and had a great working environment.What is the most stressful part about working at the company?The most stressful part was when everyone ordered all at once but it was easy to manage at the same time with the team and we did a good job under pressure.What is the work environment and culture like at the company?It was perfect, for my first job I would say there was plenty variation of cultures and the environment was peaceful and friendly so it was easy for me to fit in.What is a typical day like for you at the company?I would clock in and then get my head set; connect it if needed. Then proceed start helping packing and making the orders with my team and when needed go to front for deliveries or confirm the delivery. Then start “breaking down” witch means start preparing to close around 8:30 me and other crew worked on dishes and mop the floor while other do the same at their station and then around 10 pm -10:30 pm my shift ended.

Hectic

Shift Manager (Former Employee) - Silverdale, WA - November 28, 2023

Honestly I’m sure it has improved but when o worked there during covid times I was forced to work there even when I only had me cashiering/preparing food and a cook , who was also late or no show quite often, it was a mess. We never should have been pushed to stay open in those conditions. greedy and selfish higher management

Bad and low pay

The management style was poor and left much to be desired in terms of communication and overall business professionalism in the workplace. Also they cleaning tactics were very lacking.

Jump Starter

Shift Supervisor (Former Employee) - San Diego, CA - November 23, 2023

This job will help you build grit and will also test your patience. My location did not respect boundaries, constantly calling us in to work on days off, calling us in early, and didn’t even let us use sick pay. Helps you realize the better opportunities out there.

Great coworkers and but difficult situations

Team Member (Former Employee) - Anaheim, CA - November 23, 2023

I worked here several years ago during the summer. It's an alright job if you want to gain more customer service experience and they let you eat from their food during your lunch breaks.
