Sonic Drive-In salaries

Can be a fun job to kearn the food game.

Management takes care of its people at the top and nobody else.

Easy job for me

Nothing at all because they dont consider employees. They also cut people's hours to get Big bonuses.

Needs upper management to babysit these store managers better. Theres no reason to try if it were up to management.

Promising to do the best job and put the company first. Wasted my time with this Greenwood Arkansas location. 8 yrs and 3 Managers. 1 who still drinks at work with his assistant managers. They get raises and promotions while people like me get shafted and lied to.

Below average

There is so much nepotism...it doesn't apply

Doing a good job. The people in charge suck but my name is on the work I do.

I got to learn how to make food faster then what I used too

The toxic environment

The 50% discount

Getting to see and serve so many customers. The customers are what makes it work it.

Not consistent. Trying to manage a crew of boisterous teenagers that do o not care about the job at hand. They work almost every holiday. The owner can make all the difference in the world.

It's literally 6 miles from my home.

I would be willing to invest more in those that I have in charge, that I have chosen to oversee my business. Team building training between day shift and night shift. I would require all managers, shift leaders, those in charge, to work the shift opposite their own for a 2 week period the first time and then for one week following. This world be a quarterly training "wake-up", respect, support your co managers training.

I just looked at them on line and what positions were open

That's our area of struggle. You get what you pay for though. Some things need to be made a priority.

Way way below the average and still expecting more out of us. Naaaa

Feel good about it.

The customers

Very Team motivated culture. Most stores have decent General Managers in them

I'm sure this isn't Sonic wide but my Franchisee Capped my pay which means I will no longer be eligible for Salary increases. Some Franchisee require 55+ hours a week and when your not getting raises it just seems not worth it.

I have been with Sonic a total of 10 years with a 3 year break in the middle. I will say I liked it better before Inspire Brands bought into the Sonic Brand. I think the best thing about Sonic is definitely the bonds you make and the Dr. Pepper Games.

Fairly easy to reach

I think that if the people at corporate actually worked in the stores more and didn't just have Area reps that visited once every year to 6 months it would improve the culture of most drive-ins

I was honestly just myself, slightly awkward but very knowledgeable and showed that to my interviewers when offered a store.

Salary is a little low, Bonuses are higher than average but also very hard to achieve given the Metrics you have to hit.

Good

My crew and customers. The store was a mess when I got there. Great workers and a Great community but it just desperately lacked Leadership.

I was getting paid about $700 on bi-weekly paychecks.

The management was the worst I have ever seen in any fast-food establishment. It was dirty and disgusting in there, and the manager was so rude. I had to work the closing shift every single night even when I had requested off and every time I said I was not able to work that shift I was threatened with being terminated.

Getting free food.

There was nothing good.

I would fire everyone who works there currently and bring in all new, clean people.

Answering basic questions.

It is below minimum wage, $10.30 an hour and they think that the tips make up for the rest of them.

I don't have an opinion on that.

Getting to see friends who worked there was pretty good, but they all left, saying they felt the same way about the place as I do.

Making new friends

Get paid less then minimum wage, and deal with horrible management

There are no benefits

it's fine

It was close to my house, & got a call back from them fast

The Pay, & the benefits

We could have free food

For me is the tips and the people

For all the work you do, the pay and benefits aren’t good enough

Nothing honestly

Some of the employees were friendly

Working environment, management, the way I would be treated in general.

Getting one free meal

I love the bond that I get to keep with my coworkers. I love seeing new faces and receiving positive energy from my customers.

I hate the what I get paid. I feel like we’re overworked for the little amount that we receive. $7.25 is such a loe

It’s an easy job with quick money.

It does not provide a good income to support one person during an inflation/recession.

Free Food.

I liked the people and connections I made along the way.

The health department saying the store shouldn’t be open.

live-able wage.

Hours and co workers

Management and horrible customers

Free food and great tips

The environment, the customers, new experiences, being able to be myself.

The pay, no benefits, no free food.

50% off food and free drinks.

the people you work with are nice

some customes are rude

you get to eat one free meal if its under 8 dollars

I really love the atmosphere and the people I worked with. I liked the fast pace of the job.

The pay was very low for the amount of work that was done, because they expected us to earn enough through tips. However, we would rarely be tipped.

Discounted food and free drinks on the job

Learning new thing and growing as an employee

the people/management

Being able to help others and see them grow

My most favorable interaction at sonic was pleasing and deal with customer in all attitudes and emotions and still was able to maintain great workmanship

I can’t say there was anything I disliked

The benefits of keeping customers satisfied

I liked the people that I worked with and interacting with other people.

I didn't like getting complaints when we were having a rush.

Employee discount and the interaction with the other people you worked with.

Working with customers

My manager wasn't great at sending out a schedule on time.

Employee discount

Staying busy and working with customers. I like to interact with others and communicate.

I did not like making ice cream. The people I worked with often made it hard to enjoy working and was a strange environment.

I enjoyed making tips and saving up my tips. I also enjoyed the free food and making new relationships/friendships.

Meeting new people and tips

Grease in the air, made me chunky and have acne.

Food discounts

the best thing about sonic is the staff and management, they are amazing.

the things I really don't like is the disrespectful customers but there's always going to be people that are disrespectful wherever you go.

my favorite perk about working at sonic is the free drinks.

I liked the customer services and the good respect you get.

I don't like how some of the workers hi-gene is or their attitude when it comes to them working.

My favorite benefit is how much my check profit is.

I liked how fast everything went

The rude costumers and counting the money sometimes

The Christmas bonuses

getting to work with amazing people who eventually began to become family.

Impatient people who would complain about their order taking too long or if it was rushed.

the tips you get from people who understand the struggle of having to deal with others all day and close at midnight.

The people are great, also very good at making people happy.

Not good pay and need more hours.

I’m a manager finally!

I liked staying busy

I didn't like that I had to rely on bringing in tips.

Free food
