Burger King

Crew Member

May - August 2023 • Bolivar, MO

What I liked

Friendly work environment, clear expectations, simple tasks.

What I wish was different

Schedules were inconsistent and changed with little notice, and there was no way to check the schedule without coming to the store or calling and hoping the manager answered.

Advice

Take your time and don't rush the learning process. Accuracy matters more than speed.

Cook

April 2017 • Norcross, GA

What I liked

I really like my coworkers. I have met two really close friends from this job and I’m very happy I did. My coworkers are wild and crazy but they make the long day at work not so bad.

What I wish was different

My pay could be very different, especially since I’ve been there for so long now. I also wish customers weren’t so rude and grouchy.

Advice

To be able to work under pressure is important, and also dealing with unreasonable customers who constantly demand more than what you can give or should give is important to learn how to do.

Crew Member

March 2019 • Mary Esther, FL

What I liked

This has been my favorite job yet. I worked for them previously the year before and decided to come back. I love the staff members and management and being able to make each customer have a great experience.

What I wish was different

I wish there was an opportunity for raises. While I was paid very high, this wasn’t until after I came back to them a second time. I also wish they got rid of a person who was causing trouble. This pushed other workers away and led us to being understaffed.

Advice

Key your personal business to yourself. It’s a very talkative and friendly crew, and the news will spread like wild fire.

Marketing Intern

June - August 2019 • Madrid, Madrid

What I liked

I loved how hands-on the entire marketing department allowed me to be. They trusted me with a lot of tasks your average intern would not usually have, and they allowed me to experience a taste of each department. For example, I would approve marketing campaigns for TV commercials, but then the following week I'd attend product shoots with the Digital Marketing team. I also really enjoying joining in on executive meetings and understanding all the steps that go into releasing a product. The environment itself also had an impact on how great my experience went. The team members I worked with were all young and dynamic, with fresh ideas and a good grasp on current trends. The relationship between them was also something extraordinary in my opinion, they were more than just co-workers, they were family! Hours upon hours in an office really makes you get to know someone on a deep level.

What I wish was different

I wish the pay was a teeeny bit higher seeing as I was treated as a full-time employee more than an intern, but the general work culture in Spain is low-pay and a decent amount of work.

Advice

I would definitely recommend this experience but only if you have a fluent understanding of Spanish. My biggest tip would be to enter with an open mind, and be prepared to shift your working speed seeing as Europeans tend to have a much more relaxed pace when it comes to corporate culture.

Fast Food Cook

May - August 2018 • Caldwell, ID

What I liked

I liked having the opportunity to work overtime as well as the coworkers and environment I worked in.

What I wish was different

I wish there was less responsibility of night shift to do every single thing correctly when day shift never restocked or cleaned anything before their shift ended.

Advice

If you are looking for a short summer job that you want to either work long hours or short hours, this is a good short term job.
