Pros

Can learn how to be a team player. Usually friendly co-workers. Schedule is usually flexible. Easy to learn all positions. The company itself has good culture.

Cons

Verbally abusive and manipulative owners/operators. Only offered a raise once in my 5-6 years there. Every mistake you make during your day will get you scolded. Professionalism is very lacking here. I was expected to do the work of 2 - 4 crew members on a daily biases. We had a checklist that was nearly impossible to complete in the allotted time given by owner/operators. And if it wasn't completed you would get yelled at. The store lacked proper protective equipment to clean and filter the scolding 350+ degree deep-fat fryers everyday. Even if we had this equipment like gloves,face mask, and a heat resistant apron we were in the kitchen usually alone or understaffed. So, every order you received you would have to take it all off and then make sure you washed your hands and proceed to make the food. (Which was impossible to do with time restraints.) Not to mention that you have one less fryer to cook food with too. The work environment here was down right horrible.

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.
