Very flexible scheduling
What I wish was different
I wish there was better pay. Compared to other places in my area, it is one of the lowest.

Only take the job as a temporary one. It is not worth staying.

Team Member

What I liked
I liked the people that I worked with and that I could have a set schedule
What I wish was different
There was a lot of drama and political mess that was happening with management. I was promised a higher pay than what I actually got and by the time I realized it, it was too late to find a better job before school.
Advice
Each franchise will be different based on management but it gives you good work experience to fill in gaps and give you a foot into other restaurant-type jobs.

Crew Member
September 2017 • Stockton, CA
What I liked
I liked the community there. I enjoyed working with other crew members and managers there. They were like a family to me.
What I wish was different
I wish we had raises. I've been working there for over 2 years now and I haven't received a raise yet. I wish crew members received 3 free items instead of a 50% discount on 3 items. Managers only get paid 75 cents more than employees. As a crew member, I feel that that pay raise becoming a manager is not enough. I wish we had bonuses like the General Manager. Crew Members make the effort to sell sour cream but the bonus money for sour cream sales go to managers. Majority of the time, it is Crew Members selling the sour cream to customers.
Advice
I would say that Taco Bell or any fast food restaurant is a good first job but I would not recommend working there forever. I've learned a lot about this experience and that is why I am attending college now so that I don't get stuck at a fast food restaurant. I would say to always strive to do something better than Taco bell or any fast food. Not that these are bad jobs but with my experience, I feel that it's a good job to make money on the side, but it's a lot better to invest your time and money into a job that you'll actually be passionate about. Do what ever it takes to reach your goal in life even if that means you have to work at a fast food restaurant to get there. That is my opinion and not everyone will think the same as I do.

You have to learn how to get along with people who have different opinions and values than you. Once you can do that, the rest will be much easier.

Crew member
June - October 2020 • Mechanicsville, VA
What I liked
The response was rather quick to my request and that helped since I was looking to get cash quick and even though covid-19 was happening I was able to maintain a safe 30 hour per week schedule.
What I wish was different
Not much since I was working and I was getting paid but if anything I hope that my next job will give me more break time since I only got lunch breaks for 8+ hour shifts
Advice
It's great for quick cash if you can put in hours and deal with working for long shifts but if your looking for a better pay per hour I wouldn't recommend this job.
