Pros

Made a ton of friends working there. Sometimes the work was challenging in a good way, especially kitchen work. The corporate people who came in always seemed like decent people. The franchise system nationwide is growing, so the corporate staff must have a handle on things.

Cons

Our specific location was continually understaffed and underpaid the two and a half years I worked there. Promised raises rarely panned out. Unprofessional management (General and Second Assistants) who screamed, threw things at employees, did not keep employee business confidential, and who were generally incompetent. Unclear criteria for promotions. Uneven starting pay for the same position with no rhyme or reason. Owner is dirt cheap and does not listen to employee concerns.

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.
