Good Job for part time employees
Pizza Cook, Dough Maker, Cashier, Busser (Former Employee) – Chula Vista, CA – March 24, 2019
Working at shakeys pizza parlor is great. besides the downside of poor management the work atmosphere is great .the most enjoyable part of working here was the free pizza on lunch breaks. the hardest part of the job was dealing with a uncommunicative manager who will cut your hours or yell at you if anything is not done his way.
Pros
free lunch
Cons
poor management

Pizza Cook (Former Employee) – Waipahu, hi – January 8, 2019
The work was demanding, there was always for something to do. I tried to always finish my daily duties before finishing my shifts. Great experience for multitasking and using your time wisely.
Pros
the basic culinary training from this company
Cons
Some of the lazy coworkers
Good as a start off job
Guest Service & Sales (Current Employee) – Alhambra, CA – December 26, 2018
This job environment is good as a first job, I wouldn't recommend for stay for the long run. Wouldn't make a career with this one. Not enough hours, paid minimum wage, haven't seen anyone advance or even last long enough.
Pros
25% off discount & sometimes free meals
Cons
not enough hours and paid minimum wage
It's great for paying some bills while living at home. Or for a second job to earn some extra money.
Cook (Former Employee) – Oroville, CA – December 20, 2018
The work is busy and fast paced which makes for the day to go by quicker. It's a place I've always been able to go back to if I needed more worker. Management there is friendly. It's very much a team effort.
Pros
Free lunches
Cons
No benefits

Fun place to work
Shift Lead (Current Employee) – Renton, WA – November 13, 2018
Great experience as a first job, now I feel like I’ve outgrown it and need something more structured. I’ve learned time management, leadership skills and flexibility in the work place.
Pros
Free food
Cons
No benifits
Fast paced work environment, management trusts employees do do their job.
Gameroom Attendant (Former Employee) – North Hollywood, CA – November 9, 2018
While working at this location I was given an array of responsibilities that have been very formative in all my jobs since then. I was in charge of making the merchandise orders, display curation, and setting the overall game room ambiance, as a designer this made the job much more enjoyable. The best part of this position has to be the management, the amount of trust they have makes you want to perform better every day.
Pros
Free lunch, discounted meals for family and friends.
Cons
Overwhelming workload at times, no benefits.
It’s all about the numbers and it’s always the fault of anyone other than the general manager
Cook (Current Employee) – Temecula, CA – November 3, 2018
Employees there are friendly and driven but have no incentive to strive for bettering themselves or the company because everyone gets minimum wage and no promotions.
Fun place to work, but at times stressful
Pizza Cook (Former Employee) – Waipahu, HI – November 2, 2018
Typical day to work, its to make pizzas, or set up before business begins. What I learned is a lot of worker tips and how to be hardworking and balancing things. Hardest part of the job is dealing with customers, considering the customers in the area were not friendly nor giving. Only enjoyable part of the job was being able to play in the game room provided when free.
Decent place to work.
Cook (Former Employee) – Oceanside, CA – October 26, 2018
Days were usually boring. Nights could be super Busy. Management often more concerned about numbers than employees comfort so it wasn't uncommon to be understaffed.
Pros
Free food.
Cons
understaffed, expected to get too much done in to little time
awesome
Food Runner/ Busser/ Expo/ Server (Former Employee) – Victorville, CA – October 20, 2018
there was always something to do, the management and staff were very pleasant to work with, very family-oriented and felt like family, the management and owner actually cared about the employees, would love to work there again, but it is sadly too far.
Pros
free lunch, discounts, awesome caring staff and management
Cons
none honestly
fun work enviroment
Assistant Manager (Current Employee) – Victorville, CA – October 9, 2018
it is a good enviroment. simple tasks that should be executed with ease. Possible promotions to management then you can become a trainer. You will be able to go and help other shakeys that are opening.
