Great job worked there in 1996. I was 16 and it was a fun place to work as a kid. I made $7 back then now they make $15 how time has changed. They continue to innovate but at the same time keep it classic.

Thoroughly enjoyed position.

Crew Manager (Former Employee) - Minneapolis, MN - January 24, 2023

Working with White Castle was the best entry job I could have asked for. Ive spent about 4 years at this company & have worked my way up from team member to crew manager. Though I am no longer employed here, White Castle has provided me with all the skills necessary for a successful future. Of course every workplace has its downfalls, but the environment makes up for it. Would recommend giving it a shot.

Pros

Environment.

Cons

Flexibility could be better.

Team Member (Current Employee) - Bronx, NY - January 21, 2023

Was promised training in job ad I saw. Was put on grill first day and pretty much got on everyone's nerves. Management talked down to me and to each other.

Team and customers

Manager (Former Employee) - Reynoldsburg, OH - January 15, 2023

At the end of the day, what made this job was the team I had and my customers. That’s why I stayed for so long. My GM was wonderful at the start. Would praise me for my good work. Ask for my input on lots of different aspects, and overall made me feel important in my management roll. In the end that input just became me running a majority of the store by myself. Even though I was just regular management. Working 16 hour shifts was “normal” by my store’s standards. Having a child while working here is difficult unless you don’t care about not seeing your child. Even though they preach about Family. Just not your own blood family. This place sucks you in.

Pros

Free food when you go to break.

Cons

Long work days unexpectedly.

bad management

Team Member (Former Employee) - Plainfield, IN - January 13, 2023

There were many many scheduling issues such as not being scheduled or being put on and taken off the schedule. There were other instances of not receiving the information that you had to work until 1-2 days before.

Fast paced job, decent pay

Team Member (Former Employee) - Orange, NJ - January 10, 2023

A very fast-paced and busy job, don't expect to have much downtime. Your experience comes down to management, but overall as long as you do what you need to do, it's all pretty light work. Expect to learn multiple postitions.

Do not recommend to work here

Crew Manager (Current Employee) - Matteson, IL - January 9, 2023

All and all at this company there is favoritism. If you don’t kiss up to upper management or point out problems they purposely pick with you until you quit or set you up to be fired. Highly don’t recommend anyone works here.

Cons

The management does not care about their workers.

Alright job

Cook/Cashier (Former Employee) - Cincinnati, OH - January 8, 2023

The managers are ok here but people don’t work as hard as you’d like them to and also the pay isn’t great for the hours you’re expected to work it’s really not the best

Poor Communication, Big Egos, Lack of Empathy, Outdated equipment

Team Member (Former Employee) - Brooklyn Park, MN - January 7, 2023

There are better things in life to look forward to. Do not waste your time here. You will not be valued, and will be treated like a child. The environment was so toxic that I felt sick to my stomach the last week that I was there. Horrible Experience. The only thing I learned from this place is how low I was willing to go to make money. That's the lowest I'll ever go.

Pros

Free lunch

Cons

Horrible Teamwork, Lack of Consistency, Poor Training, Poor Pay

Management

General Manager (Former Employee) - Dolton, IL - January 6, 2023

This company doesn't care about uts workers all they care about is the money they make. They don't give people a warning for a first offense they just fire you . They allow people too steal time and money from they and put more pressure on the people that works the hardest for them

Cons

No work life balance
