Pros
The owner is a UA alumn, and will sometimes visit the location and greet everyone, which is cool. The company stands for great things. Most managers were very helpful and responsive as well as friendly, which made for a better work environment. For the most part they try to make it feel you are part of the Halal Shack family. They are adamant about upholding halal standards and are actually very clean and organized, which can't be said about many other restaurants. They hire A BUNCH of students to be able to fill the different shifts and work around students' schedules.
Cons
Some of us get used to it, but some other co-workers found it difficult to handle the food pans at such high temperatures, which we constantly had to carry and switch out. They do have oven mitts but using bare hands (with only sterile gloves) is normalized because searching for and reaching for gloves takes time, and it is a fast-paced environment for the most part. Most of the work besides actually serving the food, is very physically demanding work. Having to constantly lift heavy boxes from high shelves or low areas and constantly bending down to pick up things and clean things throughout the shifts. The amount of work, however, is not being fairly matched by the wage. Taught me to never kill my back like that again for only $11/hr. Know your worth!
