KFC job reviews

It’s fun

It can get overwhelming when the orders stack up

when there’s a good staff on and good customers

shift runners taking it more seriously than the manager

Staff discount and it’s a good salary for an 18 year old

Bullying in the workplace is common
Not being able to get time off
Having to stay late even though you don’t get paid overtime

Meet new people

It can get very stressful

Discounts and ability to problem solve

Stressful
Managers are rude

Honestly, not a lot but sick pay may be needed soon as lots of COVID is going about.

Free food
Flexible hours

Long hours
Managers are rude if you arent part of their cliques
Stressful

Some of the people I work with

Serving customers and working as a team

Respected staff anytime help them

Nothing just some time buzy and some Costmer don't understand

free food i guess, if you enjoy eating fried food all the time

not a great work environment (loud, greasy, hot) and managers can be too bossy

The other team members

Managements a joke, heavily understaffed and constantly treated like literal trash, this place can literally drive people into depression

Who I work with

Having to do too much as they don't pay for enough staff to be in

free food and some colleagues are so helpful and friendly.

Long hours, extreme labour compared to what we actually get payed. Always get rota at 2 days notice. Clear favouritism from managers. Lazy workers. Never actually finish at 12am during closing shift, always 1am at least. Disgustingly low wage. Managers always push you to work till you drop so they can hit their targets and get their £500 quarterly bonus whilst team members get absolutely nothing. Just an unfair environment.

The team and people around me

weekly rota compared to a monthly rota

The people there are really nice :D

Karens - don't be a Karen

I do enjoy working if i'm with my friends, put on the same station and know what i'm doing.

Not enough pay for work you do, sometimes it is too formal, customers may get frustrated for things out of your control (supply issues), very stressful

the staff

the stress of the work place

The people I work with, able to choose what days I can have off

Travel is hard as a student, customers are always a pain and quite low pay

Shift time

Not learning anything

The people that I work

The place

Everyone has a nice character, and does work well as a team. Free meals and drinks also are nice. The new manager is more understanding than my previous one.

Breaks can be set very early, just after an hour of working. It can also be stressful at times, especially as I didn’t get enough training.

Some people are nice and friendly, free staff meal

The work load, low wage, lots of stress, no benefits, as a reward you get to work more 😕

Making friends and working as a team

Not enough training and so short staffed

The work family
The discount

Hours
Busy peaks of day when short staffed

The team are brilliant and will always try to help out when they can.

The customers can get aggressive and management don't always put on enough staff for busy periods

The co workers are okay

It’s like a family, we’re a team. Everyone helps each other, I’ve been here 4 months and I love it, you get your hours and days off and there really flexible and if you’re sick or have an accident there okay with you taking time off and always put your health and safety first. Everyone has a laugh which is really nice and why not make things fun, that’s why I love my job and will be staying until I’ve finished my studies

It’s stressful don’t get me wrong, you have to keep on top of things and everything is timed so you have to be as quick as you can to keep the time down which isn’t always possible, there are of course people who don’t always do there part but I feel like that is with every job but apart from that I love it.

Staff discount
Free staff meals on breaks
Family atmosphere

Only minimum wage
Verbally abusive customers and delivery drivers
Shift runners struggling to organise breaks

The people and the atmosphere most of the time

I had no training. I was stuck straight in the deep end with no or little to no communication about my contract and have had to rely on other employees to help me out making me feel less than adequate for the job.

Staff discount
Free meals on break

Sometimes hard to get time off
In emergencies can be hard to get off Shift

Some of my colleagues

The actual job

good team

bad work conditions

Free food and decent people

Bad pay not worth it

The team

Pay, hours and people who buy

It's constant so shifts tend to go by quickly

There's little to no team spirit
A few people are left to pick up the slack/cover shifts resulting in 12-18 hour shifts in some ways.
Payroll is a joke
Were given the bare minimum of everything to be legal

You get to work with different people every shift

The commute is very long

The people that you work with are the best part, some of them even treat you like family

Free lunch, nice staff

Long hours, unpaid break, stressful

The community

The lack of communication

team members are friendly really nice people

shift runners are entitled and will make you feel useless, you will be shouted at, moaned at, some shift runners / mangers are nice but that’s the minority

Good banter

When everything is all over the place

The staff

The food
The customers as they blame everyone for small things
The safety procotions

I enjoy iy

It’s a lot of work

It is a good job and the manager is very helpful

Too much traveling

Good team work and good friendly employees everyone gets along well and people are very understanding of each other

High stress levels and not enough back up in those cases and unorganised management at time

Discounts

Pay hours the work itself
