The KFC I worked at was good most days, great business, really good pay for fast food, and a very easy job. There are many ups and down with working a fast-food job. A typical workday for me consisted of rude customers, we rarely had any that were kind and patient, always behind on cookers and never getting food up quick enough, it was the kind of job where you just had to learn to deal with it, it was normal for the managers, so it was never a big deal to them but they were rarely the ones who had to deal with the customers attitudes unless they were asked for. This job taught me patience and taught me how to be calm and to just take a breath when things get stressful. The management was out of control, lying to their employees about putting raises in, training them for management, having them do manager duties for months and months but never giving them the title or the pay. One manager would give out their contact information to the employees but then turn around and say it's against the rules for us to contact them. It's a little weird and not at all okay because they're not following the rules themselves and lying to their workers. The hardest part of the job was definitely dealing with the management and the most enjoyable part for me was learning. and learning what I want in a job and a lifelong career.

The company was always positive building employees up. Positive thinking and team work made the job personally enjoyable. This also showed me the proper way to help other people who may need to work on one aspect of there work habits the good and bad. I enjoyed being an advocate for the younger generation at the time, a teen or even employees my own age were not always sure of themselves, i know those working under my managmemt were confident in there skills, and never worried they did something wrong,  they knew when they made some sort of mistake it was ok to come to myself or another manager and they wouldnt be "punished" I am proud to say building employees up with confidence is 90% more positive than trying to "teach a cat to bark" so to speak... we trained everyone from the same "training manual" however learning to teach and train people like the individuals that we all are, focusing on the way individuals learn to prepare employees for there positions is by far the best thing about the KFC location i worked at, we were never trained to be like the "robots" in those corny training videos.

A typical day is usually crazy due to the rush, but your teammates help you get your orders out so you aren't struggling. The management could use some work though,I believe they need to help our General Manager more. I have learned patience is probably the biggest thing and controlling my temper. The hardest part of the job is trying not to get frustrated when you are super busy and you are running out of products or a customer is yelling at you because what they ordered wasn't ready due to the rush. The most enjoyable part of the job is when the rush is cleared and everyone stops for a minute to take a breath and we all look around the store and its a trainwreck. The coworkers are great people.

If you are looking for honesty and integrity this is NOT the company for you.  All they care about is numbers no matter how you get them.  Any way possible according to the area manager.  Every location I went to had major repair issues and no plans in place to repair and when you ask you will be told "we don't have the money for that."  Lets just say if I saw that name on the outside of the building I would not allow my friends or family to eat there.  Will treat you horribly.  When you address with corporate.  They just stall and never talk to you or solve anything.  That's how they want it to run.  Allow chronic underperformers to not only keep their job but pay them a level above for their "loyalty"  

I have worked for this company for over 15 years. It is very demanding and if you have a family this may not be the job for you. Normally a 48 hour work week, two 12 hour shifts and three 8 hour shifts. Anytime it's needed you are expected to stay. There are mandatory calls that you may have to take on your days off. It's like once your here, the job becomes your life. I have stayed so long because in our area there are not many jobs that pay as well in our area. This company has a tendency to bring in newcomers at a higher pay than the employees who have been with them for years and raises are a joke.

My day starts by making sure that inventory is correct from the night before by counting it to make sure that the numbers add up. Check for the volume of product to make sure that we are not going to run out before the next delivery. Start prep for the opening cashier, open up the system to get projection charts for total product to be made., count drawers, bank drops, making sure that shift change is ready for the next crew to come in. Maintain a steady flow of product so the customers can get in and out in due time.

Clean the firers, Go in and set up the Buffet, Check in the truck and put it way on Tuesday and Friday. Ready to open at 10:30; Keep up with product and keep the buffet full. 
The hard part of the job is when you think that you have a "tight crew"  only to find out that your last day is tomorrow and this is from someone that no one ever sees and everyone in the store knows this and  is snickering behind your back.Ended up being a hostile work environment. The most enjoyable part is the customers.

I was a manager for a 1.3 million dollar fastfood store.
I had 25- 50 employees and I was the manager of the year in 2007 my second year.
A day of work was ten hours and I always had floor and office responsibilities daily

I've worked for JRN for 30 years I enjoy my job have met a lot of people through the years have trained a lot of people Ithat have went on to become manager's of their own store. I just want to job closer to home. This is the  third store in 30 years that I have ran for JRN . I started out in Gatlinburg Tennessee which was only about 15 minutes from my home since then I have moved to two different stores for them each time it's further away from my home to drive.

My tenure with JRN was short, only because they would not compensate me for my exceptional customer service. Upper management seemed not to care about building business and securing return business.  I am 6speaking of Regional manager to owner.
