Pros

Easy job. Doesn't take much training or hard thinking to do your job daily. Just show up and work hard.

Cons

Training was minimal and varies store to store depending on how much focus the owner wants to put on it. Money was always handled unprofessionally. There was no true leadership. The owners wanted to be in charge and have you run everything, but give zero power to management to get things done correctly.

Pros

I’ve worked with smoothie king for over 5 years. I had many jobs before and this is by far the best one. Of course it can depend on the franchisee you get I suppose. Flexible scheduling, good pay, cash & credit tips are a plus. No grease, clean environment. Fun and great team members usually. Love connecting with guests. Great company, ceo is awesome, Corprate is awesome. My franchises is awesome!!

Cons

Last minute call outs, rushes (All always to be expected with a business) I just couldn’t think of any other cons.

Pros

Customers can be great Chill environment Schedule is super flexible

Cons

Employees not showing up Management being super chill about people not showing up Firing and rehiring within same week Owner is very rude and only towards girl employees Customers can be extra rude I mean you are working in food but still they can be nasty towards you Gossiping and judging 24/7 No one cleans and if they do it’s half done Shift leaders get all the blame and team members get away with just a slap on the wrist. Don’t become a shift leader unless you wanna get yelled at for stuff you can’t even control on a daily/weekly basis. Checks are never on time people are waiting Monday-Wednesday for a check He just now started paying over time but before he would be sly and not put it on your check. Breaks you can forget that you get a 15 min and we just earned that couple months ago. But even when you thst your break you get yelled at for taking it. You get all the stress of a manager with a barely over minimum wage pay. Worth it? Up to you. Take my advice and work for someone who actually respects their employees and pays well and you actually want to go to work.
