Pros

I work for an absolutely FANTASTIC franchisee! They really encourage the Culver's culture, and they take pride in the brand. They're supportive, and I've felt a lot of leeway to lead in the direction I feel appropriate. If you run a good business that's a community player and aren't afraid to maintain standards (even when it's difficult), the business can flourish. Having checked comparable jobs and salaries, I feel well-compensated for what I do.

Cons

Like every customer service job, it's how well you handle yourself with people. Remember that no one promised you a rose garden in life, and some guests feel over-entitled. For my job in particular, I occasionally feel like the Owner/Operator I work for either isn't interested in or doesn't know how to teach me how to grow my skills. I've had to spearhead a lot of my own training - which isn't terrible, as it's available to me. Time is the sacrifice one makes in a restaurant or retail job, so while I fantasize about a 9-5 Monday-through-Friday job, the reality is that evenings and weekends are something one can count on. Work/life balance is entirely up to you.

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.
