What is it like working as a Cook, Restaurant?
June 2016
Ceiling.
Cook, Restaurant:
The management is elderly and old fashioned; most everything is outdated, and the clientele is the same. It is not a place one can expect to make a career, the turnover is high, and wages are stagnant (in my time there, my wages have increased by less than $2).
April 2016
Ok.
Cook, Restaurant:
Pros: It can have it's good and bad days.
Cons: NOT taking time understand what trying to do.
February 2016
Fun, but harsh and very extrenious.
Cook, Restaurant:
Pros: The fun environment and good people I work around, (Christian foundation)
Cons: I work at this chick fil a restaurant as a cook currently making $7.35 an hour, and believe that the owner does not treat our team members fairly. As I am 17 and more times than not I work until after 11pm on school nights. Some of my co-workers have worked there 2+ years and have yet to receive a raise which seems absurd to me, while our owner is rarely there when he is, is a harsh micro manager and seems only interested in profits for his own good, I really enjoy working at chick-fil-a because of the good environment and people I work with, and also the constant business and something always needing to be done. And I also believe I work my absolute hardest all the time for long hours because all breaks must be done with before 5 o clock and everyone in the kitchen closes, and I also believe no one is being appreciated or paid as they should be and worked until exhaustion, because I feel as if we need 5 people in the kitchen every night, but we only have 4 every night except Friday's.
February 2016
Cook, Restaurant:
Pros: Making the food look good for the customer. Trying out and perfecting new dishes that reach our menu every quarter. Enabling team members to run their own stations but motivate them to ensure we are meeting industry standards and setting new records if possible.
Cons: Long hours, hard physical labor at most times, helping the same people all the time, management seems to care less than I personally do at some times.
January 2016
ITS REWARDING, AND TRIEDSON.
Cook, Restaurant:
Pros: I AM DOING SOMETHING I LOVE TO DO. I WORK MOST OF THE TIME ALONE SO I FEEL EMPOWERED AND SOMETIME STRESSED.
Cons: THE DISTANCE I HAVE TO DRIVE IN BAD WEATHER AND I MISS OUT ON EVENTS BECAUSE OF THE HOURS I AM HERE.
December 2015
I am working as pizza maker at my store.
Cook, Restaurant:
Pros: The best thing I like at my work is the flexible schedule.
Cons: Nothing like that.
November 2015
It is an okay place to work.
Cook, Restaurant:
Pros: Being the cook and being a team member for Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Cons: Cleaning up the resturant because of the pressure washing the floors.
