"Sonic Drive-In Carhop"
StarStarStarStarStarRecommendsPositive OutlookI worked at Sonic full-time
Pros
Make really good tips, can usually get lots of hours, enjoy visiting with regulars and interacting with customers, provide roller skates so you don't have to buy your own
Cons
It's the fast food industry so sometimes you end up working a lot of extra hours when others don't show up to work or if you just get slammed. It's just part of the job though

Pros
My favorite thing is seeing the regular customers, making people happy. I love it when people u don’t even recognize remember you and ask for you to personally make it for them!
Cons
I wish my franchise paid more.
Advice to Management
Stay positive! Never let a customer anyone see you stress! There is several other locations near, make your location the priority!

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Sonic part-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Great fellow employees, good food.
Cons
Extremely high turnover rate, no one who works there anymore isn't considered new, no hours during fall, winter, or spring, not enough people in the store at any time, highly stressful during rushes because no one is there, there have been times during happy hour when I was the only cook in the kitchen, the managers hate each other and can't agree on anything, carhops often cried in the fridge. Awful place to work. Please don't do this to yourself.
Advice to Management
Schedule some people and maybe the production times wouldn't be god awful and people wouldn't quit after the first day 9/10 times.
