Pros

- Though pay isn't sky high, it is competitive at 15 an hour when out of high-school and over 18, especially at entry level - Good employee benefits - Solid training - Hard working - You get to walk outside! - Usually flexible hours - Great for people who thrive under pressure! - Lots of opportunities for those willing to work for higher paying positions such as a trainer or manager. - 25% to 50% discounts on any food on working days! - General Managers and Owners are held to higher standards than other low grade fast food restaraunts. - Culver's is engaging by having employees craft food rather than prepackage like others, really connect the food to the people - the high amount of employees required to run a culver's opens many opportunities for friendship and community. - Corporate provides scholarships to A students. - Depending on location, culver's restaurants hire pretty much anybody with a urge to work hard, they are very diverse.

Cons

- Don't go for a laid back job, Culver's stores have a much larger number of active employees and for good reason: an immense customer base and no prepackaging. With this in mind, note that culver's often get busy, and work gets INTENSE with short staffing. IF you thrive under pressure, great! if not, maybe avoid. - This is everywhere: though employees are held to higher social standards, you'll still meet unpleasant people. - Fast food is often messy and constant hygiene is required, not to mention any working clothes will now smell and never stop doing so. - Culver's are up north, and often employees run food outside to vehicles regardless if its a snowstorm: their just built different :)

Pros

Flexible hours. On the job training. Generally supportive co-workers.

Cons

Not safe for those on the autism spectrum, are otherwise neurodivergent. Consistent bullying from a team trainer - refusal to actually train me, constant undermining of my ability, passive aggressive comments, refusal to communicate even the most basic of information to me. This was communicated to management very soon after I started working but nothing changed in the entire year after. I worked with one employee with a seizure disorder, another employee who had carpel tunnel surgery, and three employees with varying degrees of autism, including me. In all of these cases, they were put into situations where their condition is exacerbated. I saw three seizures happen, two of which were after she gave management a doctor's note indicated she requires a break every single day. The lady with carpal tunnel was put into situations where she was forced to scoop desserts, triggering hand pain. I worked alongside in autistic man who told me he had no training on drive-thru, yet was scheduled there anyway. He was kicked off after making too many mistakes, and the managers on duty became visibly exasperated with him. After this, he told me he plans to quit cause he no longer feels welcome. When these problems were communicated to management, I was told that *I* need to learn how to communicate, and that it's a two-way street. Slow, constant pile-up of responsibilities without the training or pay to reflect it. I received a 10 cent raise in my entire time working there, while I was being expected to come in on my day off and supervise multiple stations with my expertise.
