Zankou Chicken
A great place to learn new skills and work as a team
Shift Leader (Current Employee) – Los Angeles, CA – August 20, 2018
Being my first job, Zankou has helped me not only with learning how to properly handle money and special skills but also how to be more social and be a quick problem solver which are great in your daily life.
No direction or strategy and poor corporate office environment
Corporate employee (Former Employee) – Los Angeles, CA – August 1, 2018
Very poorly operated and no real business strategy.
A real lack of work/life balance for corporate employees. They are expected to work 6 days per week and long hours.
Well behind when it comes to workplace culture and benefits. The culture isn't great with constant turnover.

Cashier (Current Employee) – Van Nuys, CA – February 19, 2018
I enjoy working for the company because the co workers are all great people, but the management there is poor, and my store manager is not the best at scheduling and is hard to get into contact with.
Pros
free lunch

General Manager (GM) (Current Employee) – Glendale, CA – September 27, 2017
Its very slow if you like fast paced. 80 Spanish speaking only staff. No SOP's or Training material, revolving HR and managers, No consistency, bills always paid late and you feel the doors can close any day.
Cons
no dental vision, or bonus plan.
work place drama
Cashier (Current Employee) – Glendale, CA – July 17, 2017
it is very stressful and overwhelming. I really do not recommend anyone working here. there is a lot of drama and if you do not know Spanish they will talk bad about you behind your back. also, it is really hot and it makes you in a bad mood and customers are extremely rude when they don't get their way if we have to charge for something.
Pros
flexible work schedule
Cons
bad work environment
Manager and Customers so friendly

Productive and fast paced
CASHIER (Former Employee) – Los Angeles, CA – December 8, 2016
My typical day at Zankou consisted of a busy fast-paced day. My co-workers and I got along very well. My customers had a smile on their face at the end of every transaction. I created a relationship with my customers and knew most of them by name. The most enjoyable part of my job was to interact with my customers and get to know them and their orders. The hardest part of my job was probably the first day because it was a busy day and I had to learn everything fast.
Pros
Free lunches, friendly customers
Cons
healthcare
