RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Sonic full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
In the summer time, tips can be enough to pay rent, even during night hours. I can't speak for being in the kitchen, but everything in the front is relatively easy to learn. The job is never boring, so if you enjoy a fast-paced environment, I'd strongly recommend it.
Cons
There are no cash registers. The money you are in charge of collecting stays on your person until you clock out. This means if in the hustle and bustle of a fast-food restaurant, if you drop even a quarter, you come up short at the end of the day. This creates a lot of unnecessary stress on carhops and drive-thru workers. Theoretically, management is supposed to collect a cash pull every hour or every 60 dollars, but that rarely happens.
Advice to Management
Micros has been screwing up a lot recently. Customers will get their card declined, pay with another card, then come back half an hour later with proof that they've been charged twice. Other times, a card will be accepted, but no card receipt prints out and it never shows up as being paid for. If employees aren't careful, they oftentimes end up having to pay for customers' meals themselves due to these card issues. I love my job at Sonic, but I can't afford to pay to go to work and this has been a problem for weeks.
