Great place low pay

Assistant manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Positive reinforcement. Friendly productive environment. Like the emphasis on quality, cleanliness and customer service. Bullying not allowed. Most managers are really well trained and like their jobs, Great expirience if looking for a future in any type of management.

Cons

The pay is really low if you figure salary out per hour. Not much of a life outside the bun! Hourly employees need higher pay to compete with other places and for that sense of pride. We only hire the best. Some franchises are not monitered and give others a bad name. More inspections should be done and some should just be closed to keep up a good name. Customers complain. All should be the same. Stays open too late.

KFC has been good to me

Assistant manager

Business Outlook

Pros

decent salary, fast paced work enviroment, challanging atmosphere. Sometimes upper managent doesn't understand the things that have to be done at store level. They need to actually work a full day on the floor to see how it really is instead of what they think looks good on paper.

Cons

long hours, salary, work 10 hours only get paid for 8. Long days that aren't really needed. I feel if we worked normal work days, everyone would be alot happier and more productive. I notice some people drag throughout the whole day, stretch things out that could be done sooner just because they are burned out. However they are very good at granting time off when needed, good vaction packages, paid holidays and sick days, as well as several paid personal days throughout the year.
