What I liked

I like the fast paced environment and since I'm very good at customer service, it is a great place for me to be.

What I wish was different

The morale of our store right now isn't fully functional right now, but our store relationships are always a work in progress.

Advice

You need to quickly find out what you're doing if you are ever confused about what's going on in the kitchen - everyone needs to be on the same page for things to run smoothly.

April 2016 - August 2018 • Roseville, CA

What I liked

I love the community and support that was shared in the workplace. It was a family atmosphere and we loved each other like brothers and sisters. I also loved how fast-paced the job was because it kept me busy and driven at work.

What I wish was different

Some of the employees always came to work with a negative attitude, which made it really hard for me to want to be around them and work with them. Sometimes, I would get so frustrated that I would just have to walk away and relax for a minute in the back room.

Advice

Make the most of you summer and go into everything with a positive attitude and an open mind. Everyone's experience will be different but if you have a good attitude, only good things will come out of your summer.

July 2018 - October 2019 • Porter Ranch, CA

What I liked

The pay was great, a lot of benefits, and the company likes to gift us items for our hard work.

What I wish was different

A lot of micromanaging, constant visits from the DM and other heads of the company made for a somewhat toxic work environment because of the different perspectives of the job. Such as, wanting sales but not realizing the area is not that busy, wanting to maximize productivity but only giving associates who are part time 6 hour shifts. In addition, there is poor understanding for scheduling, if you need time off for school or are unavailable, you will still be called to come in.

Advice

This is a very tight and conservative company, don't expect to have a lot of freedom of expression. Follow the rules and do your best to stay busy, standing around even for a few seconds will have management asking you “what are you doing?” Its very fast paced, and not for those who are not quick thinking and action driven.

It was a nice place to work cause of the people. I liked the communication and that there was a chance for workers to earn higher wages the more they worked.

What I wish was different

Hours. It really depends on the situation, some seasons aren't busy and some seasons are.

Advice

Make sure your communication is good. Get to know the other people you work with. Pay attention to detail.

February 2017 • Long Beach, CA

What I liked

I love the people at In N Out. We have a very team oriented environment geared towards achieving a common goal. I also think they have given me a much valued trait to think quickly and solve problems. There are constantly times where there could be an issue with one of our products or one of our customers and it needs to be resolved quickly and correctly.

What I wish was different

I wish I could have devoted more time to the company and grow even faster. I have been going back and forth with the school and football and that has hindered my progress but hasn't kept them from teaching me many things.

Advice

Work hard and you will reap the rewards!
