Pros

I love my customers for the most part. The ones that are there every day at least once and sometimes more. They are what makes the day good

Cons

No formal traiing and you get in trouble if you mess up on something that you dont know how to do . They make one set of rules that they show you when you are hired and then once you are employed they change the rules and you are forced to deal with it or quit. No breaks unless you are under 18 so you can have a 9 hour shift and not get so much as a 10 min break. Not all employes are held to the same standards it all depends on who you are and who likes or doesnt like you so be carefull

Pros

You get a free meal as a crew leader, and considering its quality food that's not so bad. I met a lot of really nice people there and the work atmosphere was somewhat laid back.

Cons

I worked at a privately owned franchise, which I believe made working for Whataburger worse. The pay is horrible for the shifts you work. As an evening crew leader I was required to work Friday graveyards ending my shift at 6 am and required to be back at 2 pm for another 8 hour shift, then come in again the following day at 10am. Destroys your entire weekend. We had a ridiculous turnover rate mainly cause they will never give you a wage increase unless you beg for it. When people don't show up you end up covering for them. One week the graveyard crew leader who relieves the evening shift quit and I ended up getting stuck working double shifts for three nights. There was zero advancement opportunity after crew leader or at least that's the impression I got.
