Godfather's-Pizza

When I began working at Godfather's, I was not properly trained. They showed me around and told me the basics of what was needed to be done. From there, I had to teach myself how and when to do certain duties such as cleaning the buffet, handling the dine-in and take out orders, etc.
I got along well with all of my coworkers and the management until my job was on the line for a mistake I didn't commit. The management blamed me for a take-out order mix up that they did and wanted me to take the fall for it. I, of course, was not happy with it and decided that I didn't want to work with people like that anymore.
The place was very filthy when I began to work there. When I had some down time, I decided to clean the glass above the buffet. I was shocked to find a layer of dust on it that made it seem like no one had cleaned it in months. I also decided to wiped down all the railings, which had a layer of grease on them. There were many times when customers would grab a plate only to find that there was still food on them after they had been washed. It was not a very sanitary place at all, which is disgusting for a restaurant. 
The hardest part of the job was the multitasking. As hard as it was, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed working continuously for a certain length of time and knowing that I was making sure the customers were satisfied.

Godfathers is what I expected from a first job. It required me to help customers, handle the ones who were upset, and prepare the food in a timely manor to meet company standards. 

A typical day was very short, I would come in around 5:00pm and leave around 8:00-9:00pm. While there I was always busy, helping customers, helping in the kitchen, and cleaning anything I possible could. 

My co-workers were a lot of fun while also being professional. They all had a positive attitude while also getting work done quickly. The managers handled situations that got out of hand, talked to unproductive employees, and handled any problems within the company. The managers were all I expected from a manager, they helped everywhere when possible and didn't stray away from a challenge.

The hardest part of the job was the hours. I didn't get many hours since there were so many employees there. It was also hard to come into a shift and leave 30 minutes later because it was slow. It's hard to receive a stable income, especially when it is needed to pay off a car. 

The most enjoyable part of the job would have to be the people that came in. I got to see all sorts of people, mostly families, that would come in weekly. I got to know them and seeing them every week was always fun.

Driver: Come in around 11am. Open for business do the prep-work in-between customers and answering phones then make orders sometimes we have time deliveries which are nice but can be a pain because they can be big. Sunday through Thursday were open at 11am and closed at 10pm except fro Fridays and Saturdays we close at 11pm.

Supervisor: It depends on if you are the opening or closing mostly I personally am the closing supervisor so you come in either around 4pm or 5pm.  You keep the employees working and on task. Close out any drivers that might be done for the night. Meaning you take the money credit cards online orders and you put them into the computer. You still answer phones and make orders then around 7pm you take the first two of the three drawers break them down only to a hundred dollars and put them in the safe around 8 take inventory help out with closing items such as cleaning salad bar tables restocking the make table and so on. Then at the10 or 11pm you can lock the store do the final drawer count the safe and then run end of the day on the computer. then taking those numbers put them into your final days paper work then set the alarm and lock the door and drop off the deposit to the bank.

Simple, easy to get, job duties are presented every day. You come in and know what you have to do, but business is slow a lot of the time and you end up becoming tired and ill of the work.

I learned a lot, from dealing with rude costumers to welcoming some of our regulars. Even delegation of duties to other employees (which I was bad at) and understanding work flow.

Management was alright, we worked more as a team than as bosses, there was never a time when underlings were overwhelmed without us there helping along the way (still, simple tasks).

The co-workers mostly consisting of angst teens I felt was a problem, if I wasn't such a pushover I might have had a better time working there. Non one listened to me and the ones that did listen I will miss.

Hardest part of the job was dealing with unruly customers, and giving away free product to bribe them to come back even though most of the time it wasn't our fault. Also dealing with rebellious teens.

Most enjoyable part of the job? It was so easy, all that I needed was complete cooperation from my team and I would've been working there longer.

Most of people I worked with were somewhat decent. Only about 2 managers actually did their jobs, the owners couldn't care less and never did anything to further the success of the store. I did 4 peoples jobs and never got a raise. There was sooo much drama amongst the staff it felt like High School some days. Requesting time off or calling out was often met with guilt-trips or negotiations, over-time was never permitted but we were always short staffed and always expected to pick up the slack with no hesitancy or incentives. None of the superiors ever took anytime to address any in-store issues or needs of the employees, and often times if there was an issue nothing you voice will matter or make a difference. Communication between staff was typically through passive-aggressive sticky notes or snarky text messages, almost never a one-on-one adult professional conversation.

At work I answer the telephone and take customers orders and handle any customer complaints. I also make pizzas, cook pizzas, cut pizzas, and deliver pizzas. During our slow times I wash dishes, fold boxes, wipe down tables, fill containers, and clean. I learned a lot about working in customer service, such as people skills. I also learned how to supervise employees and how stressful it can be. The manager and owner are very friendly and open to any ideas. I get along with all of my co-workers most of the time, sometimes when we get busy and someone isn't doing what they're supposed to be doing I get frustrated at them. The hardest part of the job is trying to keep everything in order and not getting any customer complaints because it can be difficult making everyone happy. The most enjoyable part of the job is probably the employees because for the most part everyone gets along with each other and we try to have fun while we do our job.

I worked both day and night shifts. Day shift began with preparing the kitchen for the day. We started by making dough each morning, cutting vegetables, shredding cheeses, turning on all necessary kitchen equipment, etc.. Night shift consisted of completing a cleaning list, making orders throughout the evening and closing the kitchen. Management was friendly and helping and the co-workers possessed good communication skills. The hardest part of the job was learning to operate computers to take orders but was simple once you got the hang of it. The most enjoyable part of the job was working with people I was comfortable with and knowing that I produced a good product for the customer. What I learned at this position is that it is important to prove yourself as a good employee in order to open up opportunities for advancement. I also saw first hand the good and bad aspects of leadership in this type of work environment.

A typical day at work would be taking the customers orders, or grabbing the customers carry out pizza and figuring out what there charge was. I also would wipe down the tables regularly after the customers left the table. I would fill up the Parmesan and Red Pepper when the shakers were half full. I would take out the trash and clean the bathrooms at 7 o'clock pm every day. I would wipe down the salad bar and put out fresh new vegetables when the tubs were close to empty. What I learned at Godfathers Pizza was that its all about the customers and that you have to make sure that the customers are satisfied. My co-workers were very friendly and always hard working. The hardest part about Godfathers Pizza during our buffet hours because it was always very packed during that time. The most enjoyable part of this job was meeting new customers every day and greeting people. I am a people person so I enjoyed greeting people everyday.

In the year that I worked here I grew to see my coworkers as a family of sorts, and the overall work atmosphere was fun and laidback. Unfortunately, those are the only positive things I have to say. The pay is near minimum wage, and after 1 year I had only received 1 $0.25 raise (after I begged the owner). I never saw a single employee commended for their work, or even appreciated for doing more than their job description  Unless you’re a full time employee, you’ll be lucky to get 20 hours a week. The biggest problem is the management. There is constant conflict amongst them and I don’t think any of them respect the other’s authority. During rushes it’s common for them to throw temper tantrums and take their frustration out by blaming employees for their mood. Overall, I would avoid working here unless you are ok with being paid minimum wage to work a few hours a week for a business that has zero appreciation for you. 

I had soon become in love with pizza and it's creation. I opened, I closed and didn't mind which shift I was needed for. It is a skill I learned to appreciate. Good dough, good ingredients and people with skill are a pleasure to be with. We even had skill contests and it was so much fun. I am sorry the Executives closed the chain. I miss it badly. I only wish the store manager would have not been sleeping with the crew and upper management while taking drugs on top of that.. I would have stayed if those aspects were not happening. She died a few years later. It is so sad. I enjoyed doing inventory, unloading truck orders and skill games. I wanted my own store to manage since I was doing it anyway for the boss but was told I was too young and they gave it to someone more experienced.
