Pros

Culver's was a great place to have my first job. I started when I was 14 and worked there until I left for college. While working there, I gained experience working on a team, helping customers, obeying management, and all of the petty things that future employers want work experience for. At least at my restaurant, it was extremely flexible. I could ask off as many days as I wanted, and I changed my availability every couple months or so to work around my school and extracurricular schedule. The discount is 25% for you and whoever you are with at the time, and 50% on the days that you work. I've had the opportunity to meet Craig Culver on several occasions, and I couldn't approve more. He is one of the most genuinely nice and caring people I have ever met!

Cons

First of all, the shifts are very regimented. If you want to get a drink of water or go to the bathroom, you have to get permission from a manager. Same goes for applying discounts to orders and other similar tasks. The work isn't always fun, either. You will have to clean toilets, scrub baseboards, pick gum out of carpets, deal with angry customers, and all of the other things that working in a restaurant throws your way!

Pros

Culver's is filled with growth, not just financially, but also for one's personal development as a whole. Working at Culver's is a great way to build skills in efficiency, communication, and hospitality, as these are all practiced during each shift. The culture of this company is built off of doing the right thing and practicing kindness, while delighting in every moment. I feel fulfilled working here and I love the people I work with and the culture the company fosters. Culver's cares about their customers and employees alike, and gives you a reason to be excited to show up for work. I highly recommend working for this company.

Cons

There are no major cons concerning working at Culver's, although the environment is fast-paced and may not be for everyone. Culver's has high standards, especially compared to other restaurants in the same industry. There will be some differences between the franchise group one works for, but overall there are few cons.

Pros

They pay pretty well ngl

Cons

Literally everything else. This is deadass just Hell 2.0 istg. Constantly busy, passive-aggressive old customers, annoying teenage customers, fast-paced very severely, always loud, always hot, and the business attracts the worst kinds of people by being the epitome of a conservative wet-dream (American flags, crosses, country music on the speakers). Sometimes I wish that I would get in a car crash or get shot so I wouldn’t have to go to work. Sometimes it gets so stressful, I go to freezer (while sweating due to heat and fast-paced demands) and cry silently or scream in defeat and exhaustion. Nothing in my life has made me want to blow my shi smoove off more than anything else. This place is a nightmare, with every tiny detail specialized by Satan himself, purely for the suffering of employees.
