Richmond, VA

Former Employee – worked at Papa John's part-time for more than a year

ProsPretty relaxed atmosphere unless orders are coming in a lot faster than can be handled. Fun & interesting co-workers from different walks of life. Free leftover pizzas every now & again at closing.

ConsNot always able to get as many shifts as you'd like. High turnover rate. Angry customers aren't always fun to deal with.

Midwest City, OK

Current Employee – been working at Papa John's part-time for less than a year

ProsIt's nice to come home with ~$40+ every night, although your paycheck won't ever exceed $300, and that's aiming high. It's not difficult at all if you can read a map or using Google Maps. No really, it's easy as heck.

ConsCar wear and tear, hourly pay is minimal.

Advice to Senior ManagementPay more than $1.10 per 5 miles.

Ogden, UT

Current Employee – been working at Papa John's part-time for more than 3 years

ProsVery flexible schedules. Management actually gets to know you and cares about your life. Very little stress.

ConsFlour gets everywhere. Sometimes you aren't able to get off in time due to rush hours.

Advice to Senior ManagementThe safety quizzes we take each week are a little... I don't know. They're really easy and I don't really get anything out of them. Just takes up some time out of my work day. Other than that, I don't have any complaints (maybe pay... but who doesn't) about the company.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
