What I wish was different

The managers weren't very encouraging

Advice

You have to work hard at first to really establish yourself as a good employee. The longer you work, the more acclimated and better you'll become at your job, therefore you can focus more on bettering the company and not just your performance.

What I liked

For the most part, I got the hours I needed and I made some great friends while working here. I also got free delicious smoothies.

What I wish was different

The management was subpar. The owners rarely came to the store but when they did they were always displeased. They also were extremely cheap and tried to find ways to save or make money, often at the expense of the employees. The management team itself took advantage of their roles in the store and of the other employees. They would push off most of the work to other employees.

Advice

My best piece of advice would be to really check out a store or restaurant before you apply. Go in on a few different occasions at different times. Pay attention to the cleanliness, how the employees treat you, how the employees interact with each other, and how the employees carry themselves when they think no one else is paying attention. I think if I would have done this before applying to this Smoothie King, I would not have applied here!
