Pros

Whataburger fosters a very fun environment meaning you will do kindergarten projects like arts & crafts, you will play dress up, and you will have a lot of pot lucks in the home office. Most people are nice, approachable, and willing to assist. Hours are 8 - 5, no one bothers you outside of those hours. You only work at about 30 percent capacity so you have a ton of free time to do other things while at work.

Cons

You will not be challenged mentally. If you can revert to the 1980s (routing actual Orange folders for approval) you will be successful. A lot of the people that came to San Antonio from Corpus Christi are very cliquish and provide little to no value to the company's new vision of growth. You better be in your seat at 8 AM or they will write you up depending on what department you work in. You can only have 1 hour exactly for lunch. Raises are minimal. They keep hiring yet they do not work employees to their capacity therefore you will be bored a lot at work.

Pros

At the Kingsfield and Highway 29 Location, I found that the people I worked with made it worth it. The rush hours were sometimes quite fun when everyone was flowing well. Pay raises are yearly with your annual review. They encourage moving up in the company.

Cons

Customer Service can be terrible for your mental health. I received a 20-cent pay raise, though it was for one year.
