What are cooks saying about pay at Chick-fil-A?

  • Best thing

    The people

    Worst thing

    Everything else, sometimes you don't get a break when you work longer than 8 hours, the pay(10$/hr) is absolute trash compared to how hard you have to work. You aren't explained benefits, what perks you get other than a measly 8$ for a "meal" each day.

    Back of house team member at Chick-fil-A, May 2025

  • Best thing

    I really love the community and the wonderful management! Things just make sense and it’s a wonderful environment, even when it get stressful.

    Worst thing

    I am unsure if I am being paid fairly for the work I am doing, though I understand that CFA doesn’t need to compete with other restaurants with pay I guess.
