Pros

It's fast paced and you work along side with the managers, which is nice because you build a better relationship with all your fellow employees.You're also trained to build friendly relationships with the customers. Over all work is a fun productive place.

Cons

KFC corporate does not communicate as well as they should, which can cause problems in the stores themselves but these problems are normally quickly resolved by the store managers.

Pros

You meet a lot of diffrent people and the food is good they are good on keeping the resturants clean

Cons

Over worked you work 9 hours a day for 9$. Try requesting a day off no dont even bother they lose managers so fast they move anyone up. They dont give bonuses Or raises I know people who worked there for six years as cashiers and Cooks and never got a raise. They tell you the day before your day off that you have to work to cover other stores where managers have quit. My gm works ten hour days sometimes longer and only gets her salery of 40 hours a week. They tell you that you cant run out of any chicken till closing but get mad if you have overcook. It is so Easy to move to managment because the managers quit all the time. You have no life other than work because even if your sick dont bother calling in you till have to work. They move up people who are fresh out of high school with no managment experience and dont know how to motivate their employees besides yell at them and sit around and they have only been working for them for a year maybe. When I was just a cashier I loved my job but since I moved up I realized how poorly they treat their employees. I feel like they just expect every Store to be running great. Go look how your managers treat their employees when they think no one is looking I have worked with diffrent managers and some are just so mean to the employees.

Pros

If you like to stay busy this is the place for you. Managers work along side of the team to deliver results. There is never a dull moment between the work, terrific employees, and regular customers. Free meals. Good compensation depending on franchisee.

Cons

KFC corp runs specials to increase sales with no interest in profitability. Franchisees are in the business to make money. Often times this puts a GM in the crossfire. However upper management often understands this balancing act and is sympathetic.
