Nifty Fiftys

you do not want this job. 
your position will never be what you signed up for, the amount of work for pay is very degrading. 
there are absolutely no raises in this future.
you wont get a chance to breathe unless your lucky.
its never a slow day, its the only takeout establishment in south philly.
your value as an employee never existed, its only a mirage.
your sole purpose in NF's is to work only to benefit the owner & company of the establishment.
the owner doesnt slow work down, expects you to be "a teamplayer" then pickup his slack and occasionally leaves in the middle of work's excursions.
Only more tasks and responsibilities will be added onto you without notice ahead of time.
there is no rookie training, once you are in: you will be thrown into the water and expected to learn to swim by yourself. work is way to busy to be training anyone new at this point. you will be lost immediately. do not think this is an overstatement. consider it to be 100% an understatement because it's far worse than it sounds.
Consider this a warning.

The management has no idea what they're doing and often make really bad decisions at the expense of workers. They never communicate anything. No sick days. No vacation days. Their hiring posters may say "Benefits" but that's also not true. If you work at Niftys you will be exhausted, have no time for yourself, depressed, frustrated, and you will generally not enjoy life. And at 10/hr it's not really worth it. Especially with many other places starting at 15 now. You will never have a steady schedule, they will purposefully understaff during busy nights because they don't want to pay people, oh and if you apply as a part time worker, be ready to work full time hours (Even if your a minor). Oh what's that? You applied full time and are a full time worker? We'll get ready to work two days a week. Terrible awful place to work. Avoid at all costs

At first, I really had a lot of good things to say, but as I continue to work the job I saw a lot of things that I didn’t like they would tell me one thing and then another would happen like I was gonna get a bunch of hours and then I wouldn’t get them. I was hired for something and Then I was put on something else. The pay is not worth the amount of work you do. I think the job is perfect for somebody. That’s a teenager, but not for anybody that has actual bills to pay. Majority of management does not care about anything you have going on outside of work. There’s no PTO sick time so it’s either you get someone to cover your shift or come in which is nearly impossible.

Basically a small mom and pop organization with a lot of tenured folks up top who’ve been with the company since the beginning. Their salary structure, or lack there of is completely outdated. The management position is basically an hourly supervisor position where you’re expected to work 50+ hours a week of manual labor. “Managers” literally work 10 hour shifts on stations like the grill. This is great if you’re looking for your first time manager position to build experience. Would not recommend if you’ve made an actual salary before as this is not that at all. 

i am a server, and i can handle having many customers at once. but what i can't handle is ignorant customers on a regular basis. I had a customer called me the R word because I forgot his ketchup, when I went to the manager crying she told me to apologize to the customer. As if I did something wrong. People were always complaining about the food and how terrible it was. The milkshakes are banging, but Im not gonna bust my butt for a bunch of teenagers that don't understand I work for a living and that is off tips, and the sad part it isnt just kids its mostly adults. You couldnt pay me to go back to that place

I have learned how to work with the public and have great customer serve. I have learned to have a patience with people especially children since this restaurant is a highly populated child attraction. I work with an array of people from all walks of life which has helped myself develop as a person. The most enjoyable part of my job is having fun at work, even when it is stressful we still try and enjoy ourselves and always make sure to laugh. The hardest part of this job is being on my feet the entire shift.

walking into the resturaunt and start with waiting on tables. 
learned new things about food
management is great and I love colaborating with them on new ideas 
all co-workers get along and provide team work, even when it is not asked for
the hardest part of the job is being on your feet for 8-10 hours running around. 
the most enjoyable part of this job is laughing with co-workers and talking with different types of people at every table, hearing different stories througout the day.

I was working here due a mutual friend of my wife and I. He has worked here as manager for the arcade for over 13 years. My nephew also helped out with the golf course which I would assist on my days working here. I also helped inside arcade at times, assiting as a cashier and attending to customer's needs (ie; token jams, ticket issues). It was slow at times and have been sent home due to business protocol, but it was a fun job. Summer only.

Often, workers are forced to do the tasks that the managers don’t want to do, which can hold them long past close. The workplace is usually unsanitary, workers are a mess by the end of the day. You can expect to be treated with respect at the beginning of your time at Nifty’s, but over the course of your employment, the treatment gets much worse. I’ve seen many people realize that this job isn’t worth the money and they’ve left. Expect to come home long past the end of your shift covered in grime. 

I starting working here years ago as a dish washer. I gradually worked my way through the different positions till I earned a serving position. The work is rewarding and I came to grew close with the customers as well as my fellow coworkers and management. This job has had a huge impact on my life by helping me advance through college and keeping my financial life together. I am grateful to have worked for such a caring company.
