Pros

Culver's can have a very talkative interactive and energetic staff on board. If you need help there is usually someone available to come assist you, the regular customers are nice and treat you like family. They do stick to your schedule you provide (at first) and many older adults have to work weekends.

Cons

If you don't want to recieve any benefits or loose them due to a severse illness do not work there. You get hired on for 40 hours but they gradually go less week by week. During the slow times they send most people home, the way that they do their deployment is annoying. You are suppose to be moved around during the week but you mas a well work in a factory since they nearly never move you even if you ask. They are CONSTANTLY hiring which means you won't get hours that you asked for and then they will make excuses as to why. The assistant manager bosses everyone else around and is in charge of the schedule and where you are. I put in my two weeks and he fired me before I could complete it. You literally have to beg to do anything outside of your job because after lunch rush nothing goes on. In order to make decent money you literally cannot take breaks. So much miscommunication from bosses or none at all. The GM literally doesn't do much for his job, the assistant does practically everything and when you take your concerns to the GM he says there isn't much he can do and wishes things would change. They are too afraid to move people around out of fear of offending TWO people who do the same job all the time. If I wanted to do the same thing every single day I would go to a factory and make 4X more with actual benefits that you DON'T loose.

Pros

Flexible hours. On the job training. Generally supportive co-workers.

Cons

Not safe for those on the autism spectrum, are otherwise neurodivergent. Consistent bullying from a team trainer - refusal to actually train me, constant undermining of my ability, passive aggressive comments, refusal to communicate even the most basic of information to me. This was communicated to management very soon after I started working but nothing changed in the entire year after. I worked with one employee with a seizure disorder, another employee who had carpel tunnel surgery, and three employees with varying degrees of autism, including me. In all of these cases, they were put into situations where their condition is exacerbated. I saw three seizures happen, two of which were after she gave management a doctor's note indicated she requires a break every single day. The lady with carpal tunnel was put into situations where she was forced to scoop desserts, triggering hand pain. I worked alongside in autistic man who told me he had no training on drive-thru, yet was scheduled there anyway. He was kicked off after making too many mistakes, and the managers on duty became visibly exasperated with him. After this, he told me he plans to quit cause he no longer feels welcome. When these problems were communicated to management, I was told that *I* need to learn how to communicate, and that it's a two-way street. Slow, constant pile-up of responsibilities without the training or pay to reflect it. I received a 10 cent raise in my entire time working there, while I was being expected to come in on my day off and supervise multiple stations with my expertise.
