Foosacklys

I started working here as a 3 day a week 'something to get me out of the house' job. I quickly realized this place was different, and quit my work from home job to be able to get more hours here. I loved the people, the customers, the whole atmosphere. Going to work was fun. The managers take pride in building a great team, and in doing so, it makes the day to day operations run like a well-oiled machine. Foo literally puts the 'fast' in fast food, but it's because of the way the team is trained, both physically and mentally. You're not assigned to one position. You work your way through each position, and are scheduled different ones so you don't get burned out. They work around your family/school schedule, and make sure you have a good work/life balance. Happy humans are happy workers. Managers like to have sit-downs often with workers to go over how they're feeling about the job, advancement opportunities, as well as mental and physical growth. They genuinely want you to be the best version of yourself and do what they can to help you achieve that. Cake on your birthday-yep. Hot chocolate when it's freezing outside-yep.  These are just small ways they let you know they care. Is every foosackly's like this? I don't know, but mine is.  Compensation is above average, and raises are given based on performance. Part time employees don't get benefits, but if you work full time, you're eligible for BCBS insurance (fantastic insurance) as well as a 401K. Hardest part of the job is working through the summer. It gets HOT in there, especially in the kitchen over the fryers. Most enjoyable part of the job is the people - your team, your regulars, the new customers (I always liked to watch them take their first bite to see their face) and the management. Your job is always enjoyable when you like who you work with. 
I don't work there anymore, but I still talk to the majority of my teammates regularly, as well as the managers. Would I ever work there again? Absolutely. All they'd have to do is say the word. 

I did not personally enjoy most of my time within the company. Intentional understaffing, deafness to employee issues, and inconsistency across management are some of the highlights of why I did not pursue a career with Foosacklys. They will schedule the bare minimum amount of people to keep the store running, and then demand the people who are there do the labor of two or sometimes three people. There is a lot of blatant favoritism towards certain staff but it isn't impossible to move up. It is a growing company with new stores opening all of the time. 

It is very fast paced and they expect you to keep up. If you cannot keep up with the high demand you will not be able to move up and you will likely be given very few hours. You will sometimes get very helpful feedback, and sometimes you will get very condescending and tone deaf feedback from management. They will want to be overly involved with your personal life in my experience.  I didn't hate my job here but I frequently got shifts I told them I couldn't work and they did not work with me to fix the issue. They sport flexibility as a job benefit but they are actually very inflexible. They offer no breaks and no benefits. You don't get a break, but you can sometimes find a window to eat if they're feeling generous. 

They will often tell you things about raises, promotions, hour increases/decreases and then  never follow up with you and take it back at a later date. This is not only my experience, but other employees I knew as well. So it goes with just about any fast food restaurant, but it's unique here. They tout all of these as a good thing and the intense hustle culture as a positive aspect of the job.

I have worked for Foosackly's since 2007. It has been one of the greatest growing/learning experiences of my life. I have been a salaried manager for the past 6+ years and have always been granted a flexible schedule. I learned to interact in the most positive and efficient ways towards my co-workers and most importantly towards all customers. My typical 9+hr work days included everything from prepping to interpersonal communication between employees and potential new hires or applicants. The employees and management teams are one of the greatest aspects of this job and is what makes this company stand out from all the rest. The hardest part about this job in my opinion would be training younger individuals fresh out of high school and providing them with an inspiring and motivational sense of training. The most enjoyable part of this is job ironically is the sense of having successfully trained a difficult hire and making them not only succeed in your company but also outside of the company in their everyday life.

Working at Foosackly's has its challenges, and I'd rate the experience a 5/10. The environment is extremely fast-paced, and while this might work well for people who thrive under pressure, it often feels understaffed, leaving employees overworked and stretched thin. Breaks are rare, even during long shifts, which can be exhausting, especially when trying to keep up with a constant flow of orders.

The pay feels low for the level of work and effort expected, with minimal raises despite the responsibility that comes with handling cash and training new employees. While I did gain some experience in food service and customer interaction, the lack of work-life balance and the physical demands make it hard to stay motivated. Overall, Foosackly's could be a good starting point, but improvements in pay, staffing, and break policies would go a long way in making it a better workplace.

Foosackly's is a great place to work. If you're in High school or College , they work with your schedule while giving you the hours you need. Although it is a busy business and requires hard work, you're still able to have fun. Being there for five years has been nothing but fun and a great experiences. My work ethic has escalated greatly along with my communication skills. Foosackly's is a place that you'd look forward to going to work at. The one of many things i enjoy working here is able to help customers. I've come to realize that by working here my passion is to help others. I always look forward to meeting new people, seeing my regulars and make peoples experience the best they've ever had. To most people it's just the " Chicken Joint", to me it's my family.

The job is usually busy and there is always a sense of urgency, but that makes the shifts go by faster according to most people. The most difficult part of the job is keeping up with how busy it is, and sometimes customers have impossible expectations for how fast we can get their order out. As with any customer service job, the worst part is the customers, but management does their best to make sure the customers don't mistreat their employees. 

Taking out and giving out orders, balancing cash drawers, answer questions from customers with regards to the menu items and other special services offered by the store. Dealt with different types of issues associated to customer service and other special duties as delegated by the management; also dealt with fast paced and high volume working conditions.

This was my first job ( part time) after completing high school before entering the Automotive Technology program.  I absolutely loved the management, my co-workers, and the customers.  Although the food franchise isn't as well known- it is the best as far as food, customer satisfaction and employment goes.  I could not have asked to have worked for more supportive or appreciative employer which put such emphasis on the customer and the employee.

Working at foosacklys is amazing for the first 6 months. You have fun, make friends and have a generally good time. The work is very fast paced as it is a quick-serve chicken restaurant, but that’s what keeps it interesting at first. Once you begin to Learn all of the positions it begins to be a more hollow experience. Overall great management and the jobs not bad, however it is a very repetitive job after a while.  

Foosacklys has a really great learning atmosphere. Foo is typically very busy so you’re always moving and you always have something to do. Although it’s hard to keep up with everyone they try to treat all team members fairly. I would definitely recommend foo as a first job because there is so much they can teach you about the work force!
