Try to reward Team members, with salary increases and general bonuses.

The income generated is fairly low.

Pros

The oportunity to grow with an Atlanta-based corporation and also their religious beliefs.

I work in one of the dwarf houses, so some of the expectations for what they want and what employees give maybe a little far fetch. As a new team member, I want to become a leader but feel a little uncomfortable of what the rest of the employees may think

If management wants to starts changing the employees to a higher standards, they must stop hiring people of does not fit the image Chick-fil-A wants.

Offer better pay for the perfection expected.

You will always have Sundays off
The majority of customers are kind
It is usually clean for the most part

It is ALWAYS crowded- to the point that nearly every day at lunch every seat is filled.
there is no room to work in the back
discouraging environment
Little advance on schedule

Advice to Senior Management

Take time to train employees before criticizing them
Be consistent with the hours you give. receiving 40 hours one week and 10 the next is very frustrating

Pros

Your experience will vary greatly depending on which location you work at. Since they have a good deal of autonomy, the Operator and GM will make or break your job experience. If you have a good operator, you'll be well paid, respected, have good training, and time off when you need it. Great for a part time job.

Cons

Like all jobs, management can really put a damper on your experience. I've worked at stores where the management was terrible and I had to deal with all kinds of unprofessional behavior. Everything from lying and back-stabbing to unfair disciplinary policies.

Pros

Chick-fil-A was always good about allowing people to work if they needed the hours. Very professional in the running of the restaurant.

Cons

Management never talked to regular team members about what was going on with the restaurant. Some managers would favor other team members.
