I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sonic (Manor, TX) in Feb 2025
Interview
I went to the interview on time but I still had to wait about an hour just to meet anyone, when the manager finally got out he only asked me a couple very simple questions, but it was clear to me that he was in a rush and I probably wasn't gonna get the job (I was right)
Onboarding took too long but I love eating there so it was ok. I love the chilidogs but making them is a drag. You can get tired of the food kinda fast but you can always make up new stuff.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sonic (Fayetteville, GA) in Jul 2024
Interview
The manager at the location I interviewed at was very straightforward but likable and understanding as well; I was nervous and kind of stumbled over my words a couple of times but as long as you are well-dressed, somewhat well spoken and stress that you’re dedicated and hardworking, you’ll get it. I got the job but ended up ultimately not working there due to scheduling issues
