New York, NY (US)

Former Employee – worked at Burger King full-time for less than a year

ProsI DID get a lot of hours so my BI Weekly checks weren't ALL too bad.
Truly learned the value of hard earned money.

ConsI worked for minimum wage ($7.25/hr).
I did every possible job besides managing, EACH SHIFT.
Didn't get FREE food, only got a discount if my meal was over 4 dollars.
You're not treated like a person.
Other employees goofed off while i was making all the food.

Advice to Senior ManagementWhen you see it's getting hectic, offer assistance or send someone to help fill ridiculous orders, instead of expecting the impossible.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
