work place
It was a fairly easy going environment an things weren't done properly which required me to step up and help out an manage more to handle situations and be an mediator.
ProsEasy fast paced
ConsEverything else such as no proper training

The management of this franchise is terrible for the most part, there are a few gems in there but hardly.
This is a very fun and exciting job, IF you have good coworkers and management. If not, it can be negative. I left this job after being a loyal employee for almost a year due to poor management and just a bad work environment in general. That just happens with a lot of fast food joints sadly. Other than that, its one of the best fast food franchises to be a part of.

Nice office and flexible schedule
I enjoyed my time at IDQ. Good people. Benefits could be better. The office space is beautiful and modern. Made me want to work from the office instead of working remote.

poor work environment, hard work expected for minimal pay and poor treatment of employees
I enjoyed it the first few months while I was learning the job, but after i had everything down, I was made manager and a lot of the students employed went back to school and quit with no notice and I ended up working over 55 hours per week for 30 days in a row, with no day off, and the work environment degraded after that.

Great place to work for students
Dairy Queen was very flexible with working with your schedule when you had another job. Family discounts, Free cake on your birthday.It offered a great starting point for students in school just starting their first job. Management was great about letting you trade days if needed for emergencies. Employees were always there to back you up when short staffed.
Prosacross the street from home
Conslong and busy days
Customer Service Associate / Cashier | Lumberton, NC | Mar 19, 2019
Fun
Great team to work for. It's a great place to work at especially if you don't have many bills. The hardest part of the job is making the ice cream cones. The most enjoyable part of the job is seeing the look on the customers face walking in Dairy Queen and when their order is ready.
ProsEmployee discounts and great team to work for.
ConsLow Pay.
Customer Service Representative | Princeton, WV | Nov 8, 2018
Awful, please don't work here.
It started out fine, then over the years I have worked here, everyone became more rude and dishonest towards one another. There is a lack of respect between managers and coworkers. You can not move up into management due to it being a private store.
ProsFree lunch.
ConsNo breaks.

Never been treated son bad in my life
I have nothing good to say about his place. Managers would get in your face to yell at you. Managers talked bad about their customers and their employees.
ProsNone
ConsEverything

Questions And Answers about Dairy Queen
What is the interview process like at Dairy Queen?
Asked Jun 27, 2016
The interview process is fast and simple.
Answered Feb 7, 2020
Submit resume, scheduled interview the next day for two days following, hired on the spot and received email with paycom instructions for onboarding (short video and required tax and direct deposit online paperwork). The following week was orientation where I submitted food handlers certification and identification for copies to be inserted into file. Orientation is about thirty minutes of management going over policies and benefits. This is followed by drug test, if you pass, you're then given your uniform and store information. Begin training/work the following week.
