What It's Really Like Working at CHICK-FIL-A | PART 2 | Come To Work w/ Me | Behind The Scenes

[@ElSings]

I got hired a few months ago, and I’m so happy, I love love love my job! Everyone is so nice and it’s a wonderful environment for a first job, and if it wasn’t my only job, I would say it’s the best one I’ve ever had!

[@IamMichie]

Omg yess❤️ so happy for you !

Do you need resume for first job at cfa all I have is volunteer experience I’m senior in highschool

To be honest I start working there in 2 days and the videos you are putting out are calming my nerves so much! Keep it up the sky is the limit!

[@IamMichie]

Awh !! That makes me so happy ! 😊tysmm! How is it going btw ??

[@piggybeef1284]

How is it

[@serenitymoss472]

Got hired at cfa yesterday so excited but nervous to work there, how long did it take you to learn to take orders ?

[@IamMichie]

Hi Serenity ! How exciting ! It took me about a week, chick fila trainers will train you for a whole week on how to take orders and the second week they will be all practice 🤍

[@deripfina]

Could you explain what different jobs the front-of-the-house team members do? it is just getting orders on the pavement and at the cash register inside the store or is there more that they do? I know you gave a quick run-down in your last video for the back-of-the-house team members so thank you!!!

[@faithmoss7219]

lol i just replied to your other one, but FOH members basically take orders inside, and outside (this one is called “face to face”) ! they also sometimes make drinks and shakes, are on window (where you basically put sauces, forks, dressing, etc into the bag), running orders to customers inside the restaurant (or place the orders on a rack for grub hub, door dash, etc.) or on expo (where you are outside the window, handing customers their food, and drinks) i hope this helped! every cfa is different though, so some of these might not be the same name at your cfa

Just curious how flexible can they be with your schedule? I’m more of just a morning person, so would like to know if they can only give me morning shifts?

Thank you so much !🥺💗 & yes in my first chick fil a video I went over how the interview works & also some tips but what I can tell you is the all the questions they ask in the interview are all on google 😂😂 hopefully that helps!!!❤️

[@lovegirlrocks1]

this randomly came on my recommendations haha but i work at cfa and i love it. i’m always outside for morning till lunch rush (6-130) is over so i have a majoooor farmers tan with the shorts and shirt lol i’m also the lemonade queen and i’m 5 foot and i can pour the tea even tho it’s so tall but i’ve dropped it in the ice a few times but we always have people outside even when it’s slow so it sucks at times especially bc florida is so hot

[@IamMichie]

Hahah omg yes !😂😂 cannot tell you how much I relate to the farmers tan and dropping the lemonade on the ice 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 but yes we have to be outside from 9:30 Am the good thing is they switch is every hour until sundown

[@ad.worldlearning]

Hi Michie, i love this video and part one, they're very helpful. i want to ask you this since i just realized this chick Fil-a location is close to me, and I want to apply. I'm not sure if you still work there because this video is from over a year ago, but do you know if the work environment, management, and job positions are still the same? also is it true that new hires start at 15/hr. I hope i'm not asking too many questions.

[@bobatea6096]

What is the youngest that someone can get hired for working at CFA? And if someone is still In high school are they allowed to choose what hours they work there!?!?

[@deripfina]

I'm 17 and I just applied but I'm pretty sure they hire 15-year-olds and older. I'm going to an "open interview" this Thursday :0 From what I've seen I think they try to be good at accommodating school schedules, for example for me in California, I can only work up to 4 hours shifts on weekdays after 4pm because of school, so I'm letting them know right away and hopefully that works out for them and they hire me! I think it will depend mostly on what times your CFA is needing people to work at.

[@deripfina]

Weird question but what do older workers at your CFA think of the younger team members? LOL I'm 17 and I'm nervous because I'm kind of shy and I'm scared the older workers won't like me :( If you have any younger workers, like people in high school, how do you all get along?

[@faithmoss7219]

it honestly really depends…. i’m 17 and work at CFA, but people get treated differently by older people at cfa depending on which shift you are working. if you are working mornings, they treat you like you don’t know what you’re doing? or at least some of them… if you work night shift, most likely, almost everyone there are gonna be around your age (at least mine…. there’s only like 3 adults working that shift, and they are the managers)

[@ariellexx4447]

At our chick fil a, no matter how old, we all talk and get along😂 like everyone acts goofy and includes eachother!! Just be yourself and you will find plenty of people similar to you:)

[@IamMichie]

Hi Ruth ! That’s actually such a great question. It does depend on each cfa but for the most part from what I’ve experienced, majority of people who work at cfa are really kind so even if they’re older they’ll be very sweet but ofc there will be a few that maybe don’t have the best attitude and I would just try to remember that obv a fast food job isn’t an ideal career and if their older and working there it might be hard for them so I would always try to be understanding because you never know what their situation is, or what their working towards but for the most part cfa is so busy they’ll be happy to see a new helping hand ❤️

Hey! I’m wondering how I’m allowed to wear my hair to work. I have mid length curly hair. I’ve seen people with braided hair down or with their hair in buns or low ponytails. I start training next week and was wondering if it would be ok for me to go in with a high ponytail, with my curls out? Or maybe a low side braid? Do you have any info about this

[@IamMichie]

Hi kiara !! Most chick fila let you have a pony tails so that should be fine but for some places because of hair being found in food they usually tell you before you start if you can have a pony tail or if it always has to be in a braid or bun 🤍

Hi Mimi ! It depends if you’re a minor you will get a break regardless. Idk how it works at every store but at my store if you don’t work more than 6 hours your are not guaranteed a break only if it’s really slow but it may be different at other locations bc we were just a really busy store

[@IamMichie]

Praying for peace Instead of anxiety! For positive thoughts instead of negative ones. You’re going to do great! It’s okay to be shy not everyone was made the same but it’s not okay to stay that way, you miss so many great opportunities because of it. The more uncomfortable you get the more comfortable you will feel. So get involved with groups more, interact more, Get out of your comfort zone it’s the only way to grow ! But you got this !!!!!!!🫶🏻☺️

hii love this video!! i applied to chickfila a few hours ago but i have a question. i have dark red hair, would that be allowed? if i do get hired, will they make me dye my hair back? thanks!

If you are working in the front, they might 😭 only because chick fil a wants to demonstrate good character and image and so they are very strict on first impressions 😭 but give it a try maybe your chick fil a may be a little leaner then mine was 🤍 lmk how it goes !

Yo so Explain to me how you read them back the order cause it's lowkey a pain for me for foh They keep saying 'just read the order' but idk all these abbreviations

I’m currently applying for CFA and I was wondering if there was a difference between part time and full time?! Which one do you work?! Seems like a vague question, lol.

[@keileamessick7835]

Since she hasn’t replied im gonna gonna take a guess haha. i used to work there. Full time is considered 30 or more hours a week and judging by her shirt (it’s not red for a regular team member) she’s a team leader or shift leader, so she probably works full time

[@IamMichie]

Hi Angel🤍 ! I worked part time, I only worked 4 days out of the week because of school. The difference is that full time is working 30-40 hours anything less is part time (:

[@southerngirlsociety]

They really need to start interviewing for Team Lead and Trainer positions too... just because you're on the team and you know how to do all the positions does not mean you would do well in a "leadership role". They need to ensure that Team Leads are leaving friendships at the door and not allowing friendships to help decide each person's position for the day. NOBODY likes having to do bread (buns) and the shorter a person is, the more this is true, but if everyone is expected to rotate through this position then it's fair that everyone should have to do it once in a while, but NOBODY should have to do it all the time (it's a back breaking position - especially the shorter a person is) just because the Team Leader can't stand up to someone (in this case, a strong Latino gal who only ever wants to do morning biscuit making and secondary salad / grilled / mac & cheese for lunch...), OR the Team Leader is taking care of friends who are actually taller and more capable of doing the buns and bread, but don't want to so then the one person who's the shortest on the team ends up doing the buns and bread - EVERY time... because Team Leaders evidently don't get much training on what it means to step up and be the leader. They need actual classes with quizzes to prove retention of material and expectations that will be required. Team Lead is also tall enough to do bread and is actually quite good at it but ALWAYS chooses the easier position instead... (hardly true leadership if you ask me). Team Leaders also need to be held accountable for crossing off a check sheet every shift of tasks given to various team members. If a team member is given Mac & Cheese, they should be expected to follow it all the way through from putting the MC in the pans, to then restocking the cart with a full set of thaw bags for the next person who's making it, to cleaning up their space and placing everything back where it goes. (Team Lead can clean if team member is needed elsewhere but this should be the only part that a person might not do. EVERYTHING else should be expected and that person should be held accountable if the task is not done correctly). There is far too much "winging it" or "playing it by ear" when people come in for the morning... to the point that some people automatically decide what they want to do and everyone else just has to work around them. This should NEVER happen. Everyone should walk in for the morning and assignments have already been written on a board or in some way noted. No team member should always find themselves picking up where someone else left off because the other person didn't like that part of their task... (cleaning the biscuit table, cleaning the eggs station, doing soup, cleaning up a major spill...). Team Leaders should have a plan when they walk in and they should be good at time management and team management. Yes, there will always be call in's and call out's and nonsense like that but you should ALWAYS have a basic plan of who does what for tasking in the morning. There truly needs to be a Kitchen Coordinator that runs logistics and makes sure positions are being covered properly and fairly rather than decided based on friendships... *** Fair Word of Warning - Definitely go to a store or location that has been either open for a while, or has been run by an operator who has run a store before... You can't begin to know the frustration of working at a newly opened location, especially if it's owned and operated by someone who's never worked a day in their life within the reality of what it the fast food business. It's one thing to jump in and get your picture taken doing a few dishes in the dish room or some other position most nobody enjoys doing, it's another thing to dig in and do the job for 8hrs a day, 4-5 days a week, for at least a couple months... THAT is when people will truly respect you - but it's also beneficial to the upper leadership to have had to truly jump in and cover a position for an entire day / week - you get a better understanding and gain a better perspective of what it is really like. Your team members will respect you much more highly as well and will be far more willing to help you when needed.
