People are trained improperly usually by said manager including GM. Seen so many products go out incorrectly sometimes by management. It's okay for some to not do their job it is laughed off.

Pros of working at Pizza Hut

It's okay, just what you expect as a job. Managers vary so it might not be the same experience as me. It's all relative. I think that pizza hut has a big reputation for it's food. Customer service is satisfactory. I think the best thing is the delivery and the phone service.

Cons of working at Pizza Hut

Rather tedious routine. Mundane tasks, serving, and answering phone. I think entering data into the register and computer is boring but it is okay as I can talk to people. It's good to work as a team. I don't like when there are employees slacking off.

Pizza Hut benefits

Pizza leftovers, discounts, employee benefits. It's great to be able to bring home some leftovers. I think that the discount is reasonable and I can order anything off the menu for a fraction of the price. It's nice to have holiday too

admit it, when I make an order to pick up later... you make it early just to get it done with and let it sit in the warming cabinet for hours? ADMIT IT!

Former Hut worker here. If you place a future order to pick up later, the system stores that order until 15 minutes before. It then pops up on the kitchen system to make. Assuming an average worker will take 3 minutes to make the pizza, and the cook time is around 7 minutes, your pizza will sit in the warmer for 5 minutes. That is, if you are on time. If you can make it in about 5 minutes before scheduled pickup, you will usually catch it as it is being boxed up. Not always, though, especially late night. Sometimes, cleaning the store for close will come before making your pizza.

To whoever left a comment then deleted it : Dough is sent as frozen disks delivered in a box, we seperate them in individual pans before they thaw. Theyre not stuck together because when frozen, theyre basically frisbees. We cook on a conveyor belt for 7 minutes. If you ask for it well-done, we open the oven on the side and put it again for half the oven rotation through (roughly 3 minutes). So when people say we over or under cooked their pizza, its laughable. Because every pizza in every store across the country bakes at the same time and temperature and it doesnt get taken out too early or late. People like to complain about nitpicky stuff, its bothersome. If you think your pizza is doughy, you might have gotten too many toppings and it was hard to cook through, or you asked for extra sauce and didnt realize it made it all wetter feeling. Or youre just a whiny little *** who should be grateful you have money for food at all and youre not subjected to eating bugs off the ground. Sorry for the rant. I never get to bicker about work...

If there are a lot of toppings, why not cook it for longer? The onus of that correction is on the cook, not the customer

Who's your worst coworker and why? I know pizza places hire plenty of ***, and I've had to deal with them before in fast food.

I cant say his name but he was fired. He whined ahout not getting tips (we didnt share tips because he was a lazy *** who made dozens of mistakes) plus he always talked about his old job, like 30x a day. Nobody likes to hear about how your old job did this and that.

Somebody once told me in all seriousness that the male employees jerk off into the cheese they put in the stuffed crust. Is this true?

At our store, 0% of employees jerk off into the cheese of a stuffed crust. Mainly because you can see directly into the kitchen to the make table and oven. I can't speak for other stores, but I don't think this is likely lol.

Ive noticed that whenever I would choose to sit in the store to order/eat my pizza, the service was horrid. What could be an explanation for this? Do you guys get any sort of customer service training?

It depends on the employee's job. Generally, everyone does, but like servers, because they interact with customers more, have more intensive customer service training. Really, it just depends on the store and the management because in all reality, we all get the same training vids from corporate. So, there's no excuse for someone to be ***. I mean, I hate my job, but I try to give the best experience for people because THAT IS my job. I honestly don't have a great explanation because I try not to judge others. Have you tried to file a complaint?

Does Pizza Hut actually get a lot of customers? (I'm from New England and people never get pizza from pizza hut and dominoes)

In subcultures where pizza is not a huge thing, yes. Like, I used to live in New York where pizza is an actual thing, and small mom and pop pizza shops flourish. In places like that, Pizza Hut doesn't get a whole lot of business. However, I live in the South right now, and there's like zero pizza culture here. So, Pizza Hut and Domino's are big things. It just depends where you go, tbh.

How often do people ask you to draw pictures on the boxes? Also, how annoying does that get?

Actually, at least at our store, it doesn't happen often, but the other week someone did ask us to write Netflix recommendations on the inside of the pizza box. The employees had so much fun with that! We had something from every genre you could think of.

You mentioned earlier that at your pizza hut, not all of your ingredients are fresh. What exactly is the most unhealthy thing you've seen at your job?

"Unhealthy"? Anything with cheese, and because it's a pizza place, people get fried cheese, extra cheese on pizza, cheese sticks, and cheese on their salad. It makes me gag. Most rotten and gross thing? LETTUCE AND ROMAINE. Those go bad so easily, and then they just rot over everything else in the box. But I did see some cherry tomatoes in the cooler yesterday just covered in black ***..

Yes!! It was very difficult to learn, and even now, six months later I still can't find some things! And most times, they don't even take away the old products right away. So the screen gets crowded.

What do you put on your own customized pizza? Do you judge customers by their pizza order?

I don't order pizza from Pizza Hut, but if I did, it would probably be mushrooms, chicken, and spinach with a balsamic drizzle. That would be ***.. And YES! If we see a gross order, most times the employees will joke and laugh or gag. Like, (for some reason?) some customers like their cheese sticks cooked less so the cheese won't be browned, but like it's bread so you're eating dough?? That is so gross..

Whats the worst thing a customer has ever done?

Came in with a 20 person party without calling or anything. We had no silverware ready or anything like that. They then proceeded to be upset and mad because we weren't prepared. ALSO, this group of people that come to dine-in at 9:45pm even though we close at 10pm. They literally do this every week, and we can't turn them away because it's company policy.

How long have you worked at Pizza Hut? Also, what are the best perks you get from the job?

I've work at Pizza Hut for about six months, but I had family in management before and helped them out a lot with the restaurant. Best perks? ~*discount wiiiiiiiiiings*~ Also, I suppose a perk is the "points" you get as an employee. Every month if your store is "gold star" you get points to your account, like arcade tickets, and you can cash them in for a variety of (pretty lame) prizes like Pizza Hut cups, jackets, backpacks, etc. I think the biggest prize on the list in like a paid day off, but you have to work for like a year to even achieve that.
