Pros

They do offer their assistant managers paid uniforms, food, and vacations and only a 48 hour work week. Most of the training is done thru the Wendy's we learn system used by employees. also getting a requested day off is not usually an issue.

Cons

No training what so ever other than "we learn", after watching a video the trainer, in my case the general manager, puts you in that position and thinks you are supposed to do the job like an experienced employee, then when you can't he gets mad and yells and makes you look stupid in front of the regular employees, nothing gets explained like how to do a positional chart charts or any other procedure, Then you are expected to run a shift without any sort of training while the whole time the GM (who is supposed to be training you) again stands and watches and then makes you look stupid in front of employees when you mess up, He also tells employees if he (the trainee) does something wrong yell at him! this is not training its BS period, watch how many times Tar Heel Capital posts adds looking for managers, STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY

Pros

Half off food off and some managers are good.

Cons

They don't give you free meals. For one station they expect you to be at two stations at once both putting in orders and cleaning dishes instead of having one person do one at a time. The female managers can be a bunch of drama queens especially the store manager. Managers sent me home early and I was always the one sent home early even though I was always sent home early. For the store manager if you make any mistakes she will make a big deal about it. They expect you to know how to do a station perfectly even though they only showed you how to do it once and you are pretty much on your own from there and will be viewed as incompetent if you don't get it right away. Reduced my hours without telling me and also sending me home without a explanation for both hours and sending me home. There is no consistent pay day so depending on your bank you will get your money at different times compared to your co-workers. I did not have this problem for McDonald's For a job while in school do not work here unless you have no other options for employment. In some cases it is better to be unemployed and look to work for other companies then deal with this excessive level of nonsense and there are some other stuff I have not mentioned but I don't want to drag it out. The only reason why I rate this 2 stars instead of 1 is because at least to my knowledge they did not do anything illegal.
