What Taco Bell employees say about their job
-
Best thing
I don't know honestly. I have good days and bad days but it just depends on what kind of "mood" I am in.
Worst thing
Honestly the managers. (Higher ups). Have the time it doesn't feel like they know what they are doing, they just go with the flow and sometimes that doesn't work, and it gets frustrating for us employees.

Best thing
That i have one I guess.
I do get free food that helps alot with my food bill.Worst thing
People don't listen when i tell them to do something. I'm not always considered on my shift over calls made. There are double standards for people. high standards for uniform presentation. I have to stay late sometimes because the schedule didn't have enough people. I'm told to tough it up instead of getting help finding a solution to my problems. Running a shift is hard and anything g that happens is on me
