We sell burgers, sometimes weather conditions and economic well-being, can hinder business sales.

Advice to Senior Management

Be kind to the people that help make your company run, the little guys.

Beautiful location, easy commute to work. Not expected to put in 60 hour work weeks.

Advice to Senior Management

Create a quarterly company meeting with an open forum format to get feedback from your employees.

The office sits right on the pacific ocean so you get a nice view from the back of the building.

good riddance

Great, intelligent, friendly people at all levels, flexible, family friendly culture, decent benefits, beautiful location, management seems to look out for the best interests of the employees.

Advice to Senior Management

Re-evaluate the pay structure.

Pros

Decent Salary for Fast Food
Benefits are okay
Meal Discounts 20% anytime, 50% 30 min before your shift to 30 min after
Well known on the West Coast for having big, tasty burgers

Cons

Although salary is decent for fast food, you cap off fairly quickly and raises are minimal
You can only go so far up the chain before there is no where else to go - General Manager is basically where most people aim to reach, since District Managers positions are limited.
Around the holidays be expected to work 55 hours a week.
Labor costs can be unrealistic at times

Advice to Senior Management

Offer other positions in corporate office, if upward movement is not available. This may help with retention.

Pros

If you are looking for a job straight out of college and like to be treated inhumanely, this would be a place for you. I suppose that if you needed a job bad, they will hire you and then work you like a dog.

Cons

Incompetent people, no pay raises, terrible benefits. There is definitely no opportunity for growth here. All seasoned employees treat new employees like a sack of potatoes. Senior management who have been there since day one, are complete jerks. They like to fire people left and right.

Advice to Senior Management

Invest your money in your employees and not yourselves.
