By far the worst job I've ever had.

Pros

Discounts on food were very good. When working you can get half off anything not on a special and when you're not working it will be 25% off. You can usually sneak a fry or a scoop of custard here and there. Depending on who you work with, it will be bearable.

Cons

The GM was awful. She was not consistent with how she ran the place. Not to mention she had it in for me. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't the best employee, but I was far from the worst. She didn't have the patience to train me, I was banished to do janitorial work for most of my time spent there. The work gets old real fast, I felt trapped. I was also abused and lied to. I was on the receiving end of a very cruel joke. But that wasn't even the worst part. I would say the worst part was the hours. I was part time, but my idea of part time is 20 - 32 hours a week. I would MAYBE get 10 hours a week if I was lucky. One time I got paid $40 and that was bi-weekly. Even for a first job that is utterly unacceptable. Might as well beg for money on the street at that rate. Keep in mind that Culver's are franchised so each restarunt is run different. The one I was at was terrible. I hated working there.

Pros

The restaurant segment in general is up right now, and labor everywhere is difficult to source. Therefore, things are a little stressful everywhere. The pro's, you ask? I'm working with a team that's been trained to work together to solve problems, and to see solutions instead of wallowing in neutral. The guests that come in are fantastic for the most part, and as with any customer service job, there are going to be those situations where people appreciate you less. The owners are involved and appreciative, they make sure to keep a pulse on how their team is feeling about their jobs. The focus on quality remains strong, and they set challenging goals within reason.

Cons

The con's for me are just part of the regular cycle of running a business and employing a younger team. As leaders of a restaurant, we're forming the labor force of tomorrow. It can be challenging to find just the right way to push someone to make them better while maintaining mutual respect and balance the subtleties and complexities of running a business.
