He was very kind but the manager she was a little rude
By letting the manger know it’s okay to show kindness and it’s okay everyone is human we go through things in life
Practice people skills
Some what
It’s very okay
Being able to be heard by the general manager about getting a raise and an more hours
I enjoy the environment and getting to engage with positive, driven, people and a supportive team. I am enthusiastic in doing what my position entails.
I dislike that there is a lack of opportunity to advance in the company.
Free food
The young managers are mean to elder employees and they talk down to them as if they were animals. No employee recognition for good employees. Young teenager employees play a lot at work. They don’t wear gloves when prepping food nor do they wear masks. They talk a lot while prepping customers food while their spit is sprayed down upon the customers food.
Flexible schedule there’s no benefits for team members. They are only entitled to a pay check and no pay raises.
CEO listens to the managers
Recognize good workers by offering positions that are trainable as leaders. Turn the volume of the music to a softer tone. Stop the profanity in the work place and eliminate the extremely loud talking.
By giving honest answers
When all of the loud managers are not there on weekends. The work environment is more relaxed.
Busy from the time I got there till the time I left loved that
Really nothing I enjoyed it
Good management good food
The hours were great. The team was great to work with.
Getting penalized if you were sick. There were no sick days.
Doing emails and getting a break on the phones.
I loved the people and friendships I could grow with everyone.
It was very inconsistent, managers would abuse power towards others and would never listen to my schedule.
I'd get great food.
I liked the people I worked with and the customers I served
The management didn’t really know how to communicate
Healthcare
The fact that drinks are free to employees
Poor management, dismissive trainers, lack of breaks, not allowed to drink water on shift
Free drinks and employee discount
Food was good, some managers were helpful
Understaffing, overscheduling, lack of benefits, unsafe and unhealthy work environment, and illegal overwork of minors
Free drinks
close friendships, free food, clean.
Bad management, inefficient staffing
free food
Loved the work environment andy coworkers.
The expectations from managers hoping we'd just do their job for them while they get paid for the work they're supposed to be doing but are watching us do it.
N/A
Flexible hours and kind coworkers
Monotonous and yet stressful at the same time
Being able to work with managers to set my own schedule
I liked the fast pace environment.
The pay was so little and management was very unprofessional.
Flexible Hours. Easy to get time off. Relaxed Environment (mostly)
expected to stay late too often. very organized management. employees generally had bad attitudes and weak work ethic
N/A
The environment, the food, and the people
The management, although my managers are really nice and funny, there needs to be a sense of order and to promote in order.
The 65% off food and free drinks.
I like the hours and the pay. The co workers are pretty great too.
I dont really get any benefits or breaks. The managers can be hard at times.
Overtime. You get a lot of hours at the one I work at.
