Burger King reviews

When I first started I got pretty close with some people but the turn-around rate is so incredibly high in fast food that in 1 month I had tenure in the kitchen and there were only a few people there longer than me and that got to the point you could look at someone and pretty accurately say how long they would last till they quit so eventually we had employees who I didn't even bother to learn the names of. Ive seen 2 car accidents in our drive through. Someone who ate inside when he left he left his tray on the table and took his fries and wrote, "*** U" on the tray with French fries. Some guy tried ordering beer in the drive through and when you talk on the drive through mic it actually broadcasts in the kitchen too so the people making food and can a headstart on making your food before they punch it in the register and when he started screaming and cussing at the girl on headsets it was so loud that all the customers eating inside could hear every word. I locked one of my friend on the roof of the building once and he tore his pants getting down and had to get new ones lol. We did many things that most places would have fired you immediately for.

I thought the pros of working at Burger King was the experience of learning all of the different areas of expertise and perfecting my communication skills.

I thought that the cons of working at Burger King are that they don't fire those who need to be fired and that the management can sometimes be poor.

My favorite perk or benefit at Burger King is the free food.

What I like best about the leadership team is that they can be chill and serious when needed.

I would improve Burger King by getting rid of the CEO.

I prepared for an interview by being myself.

In my experience, my compensation at Burger King is below the industry average.

I feel that the representation of diverse demographics within the organization is limited.

Personally, the most fulfilling part of working at Burger King is communicating with customers.

Apply for jobs. All jobs. If you want out you're gonna have to start from the bottom. If a place has minor experience required include a cover letter discussing you're willingness to learn. And don't just apply for jobs you think you'll love; apply for jobs that are better than fast food or offer better career progression. Getting out is easy. Just apply apply apply!

I love providing great customer service and working there afforded me the opportunity to do that daily

We were aggressively pushed to work on Thanksgiving and Christmas. There was no such thing as work/family life balance. Also great customer service wasn't as important at the drive thru. Plus you had to work at least a full five years before you became eligible for paid vacation and if the franchise changed hands you lost the time towards the required 5 years and had to start all over again.

Occasionally you would get a free meal.

Most of them. Only work friends I didn't associate with them outside of work. I've never done drugs. Ive never even drank honestly. I'm just not into it. Our managers were cool with employees going out to the dumpster area and smoking weed on break because it helped them work faster and be more focused.

Something to do and possibly move to management

5 a.m. crew meetings

Profit sharing

It was very good at the time

The burgers are Amazing and delicious

Nothing I love it

Doing my shopping everyday

Not that many perks to be honest. As crew your basically under paid for very hard work

Constant call offs no shows and bad pay. You work hard for bad pay.

Only 1 perk that I had was working for a wonderful manager who made everyone feel good about them selves. Her name was adrienne harris harris of BK Carrols Corp mentor on the lake. She was the best ever.

I love providing customer service

People that don't want to work

Having an awesome gm that believed in bonuses

The team I worked with.

No one took responsibility for there actions. Being one of the best assistant manager and getting payed less then a new and lazy manager.

They worked around me having a kid.

I enjoyed working with friends

Someo people are not reliable

Make friends with minimal people

Its easy to get you to talk to people

People don't always listen, and the job can get toxic

You get some free meals.

They're super flexible with my hours, really nice, and an overall good work environment.

I don't particularly enjoy working in the food industry, but that doesn't take away anything from the company.

50% off food.

It was a high speed job.

I did not like the hours.

My favorite perks was the free food

My co workers and fast paced

Being singled out by management or blamed for what other co workers do

I work very hard and I pick up on how to do the job I am asked to do

It was full of friendly people.

Too much going on at once. I can’t concentrate in the stress it puts me through so it makes it impossible to work.

I was comfortable and loved working with costumers

Business was slow

Free food

It teaches you teamwork and communication skills

the managers WILL push off their work onto you and will refuse to help in most situations

money

Greeting new people and being there on time

When people don't do they jobs

Any

The staff is kinda and have a strong work ethic

some people do not help out or wont get along

Food

The hours and the people

My favorite perk or benefit was the fact that I was getting a good pay for me to be young .

The team work held in place. The experience, learning valuable lessons working there.

The pay.

Scheduling due to school i can keep it balanced

Free food that was something good

Never had a good schedule to go off of

Discounts

Inconsistent hours

My favorite benefit is being on break for 30 minutes

Nice, friendly coworkers.

Rude customers with no patience.

Food at half price off.

I liked working with people and being able to talk to them

I didn’t like type of environment, such as the food every day.

Making sure everyone is taken care of.

It only pays $8.00 hourly.

Every occasion some of the managers pay for my food.

The customers, and employee relationships formed. Taking care of other people's needs with nothing expected in return.

Some of the bosses seemed to not care much for the people that were working for them. When they would come to visit the store didn't speak to crew employees only the store manager.

Flexibility of my schedule

Easy job. Love coworkers, great location. Food made fresh. And easy going team who understand and be patient with new ones

Rude customers. Im a patient worker and accurate, if they said i didnt get their order right, maybe cause they wanted something else

Working with a great team member and coworkers. Would like to work there again. Food was great and great location. Didnt have benefits at all but it was an easy job kinda thing

In drive through someone ordered 60 cheeseburgers. We made them park and come inside and wait and gave them a 10% discount

No there is nothing wrong with hugging people. An employee came up and randomly asked if they could give you a hug? That is odd, but they do hire all kinds of people.

Yes. Sometimes the person at the window would hand the food or set it there before they take the money and people would book it out of there as soon as they got it. filling your water cup with soda is the easiest thing to do and we only had one manager who cared enough to watch for that.

I got as much as I wanted. Really though employees only get a 50% discount but if you come in 2 hours early or stay 2 hours past your shift you get a free meal. I had tenure and was next in charge below management so they didn't really care what I did or got.

A lot of people come in high lol (I happen to be one of those people) and I've only seen two people pop pills while on the job.

YUM! brand has an award for every 5 years of service. they send you a plaque and a catalog that is tiered out and you pick something in your tier. I'd rather them give a bonus to employees. I'm assuming other fast food chains do the same.

You don't even know what goes on at our Burger King... One time this kid we work with put a dead fly in someone's drink in the drive thru.

*shh*
