Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We really value all feedback – it's how we get better. We'll definitely pass along your thoughts to our Customer Department leadership team. Or, even better (because you can add more perspective and help us understand your specific pain points), you can reach out to your business partner (or any member of the People Department) to discuss your concerns. We'd love to get specifics on your comment about unrealistic expectations. We're here to help and want to make sure you and all of our people are getting the tools and resources needed to succeed. And we agree. We've got some pretty nice folks working here, and Seemore, of course, is great. :) Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review.

Pros

1-800 gets food trucks for the team atleast once every two months, the people that work here are extremely nice as well. The pay is literally what you make it, if you work hard you’re pay will reflect in it.

Cons

The hours can be a little strenuous especially when others call out.

We appreciate how hard our associates work, and offer bonus programs and development opportunities to engage all associates.
