Best thing
Love the people but having regulars to talk to I love it
Worst thing
Skeleton crew at times not having enough workers and working 6:30 am to close 11:30 pm

Best thing
I do have more hours and pay here than working in my past jobs of retail
Worst thing
The worst thing about my job is that while the sonic corporation already doesn't care about their employees enough my operation partner is a very controlling person who doesn't even let the managers do somethings that their supposed to do then turn around and emotionally manipulate us on why shes so stressed when she takes on more work than she needs to. Then theirs her excessive cheapness where she feels the need to use everything even if very clearly old and unusable. what also comes with her cheapness is the people who are supposed t have a raise have not gotten it in the last 4 months.

Best thing
Free food, really good place to make friends
Worst thing
The labor is impossible to keep up with, every customer is impatient and so is the higher ups. The food is mediocre, roaches and ants everywhere and it’s on the higher ups, mold everywhere you look. I wouldn’t trust any sonic considering I’ve talked with repair men who fixed machines in other locations saying our store was one of the cleanest they’ve ever seen.

I got to know many good and funny people while keeping my mind elsewhere.

When people are being arrogant and rude for no reason. Getting blamed as a carhop for cooking mistakes. When others don't do their job like they need to.
