Sonic Drive-In Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

The overall working togetherness of fhe company

We get everything tasks that are supposed to be done right! Some of us managers actually do a fair amount of work to ensure our employees knows our company standards and making sure they feel confident about their job!

The most positive thing about the environment is the coworkers. The only thing keeping all of us there is each other. We genuinely make a great team and I'm sure everyone would be much happier if we were a team working under different management or at another location.

Review from Customer Success Dept

the free choice of music we have

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Pick better managers screening process

Everything needs to be changed here badly

Managers staying inside the building and helping with the workload

Hire a new more understanding and equipped general manager !

Review from Customer Success Dept

Making it right for the new people

You obviously don't know your store

New GM she took over that store and made it worse than it was before.

Review from Sales Dept

Every area needs or could use improvement

Attitude and scheduling. I feel if we had the people on we could take more orders which means more money less stress and better hours. Also we'd be able to take breaks.

Managers being more nicer, and more understanding. Less about gossiping on the job and more being a good leader.

Targets and goals are set and changed weekly and the arrogant nature of the execs is offensive

higher pay, more careful of who you hire as they can be very rude without their bosses looking.

I belive the turn over rate is because of all the manager's and the owners fualt at this location so many people leave because they do not like how they are treated and feel uncomfortable with how the leaders are not actually acting like people who wants to succeed in making the place better

Change how the workers operate. Get read of the childish employees. Hire employees that want to come to work. Have a meeting with the GMs and get them right with how you want the store to be operated.

Review from HR Dept

Allowing employees knowing their rights and giving them the hr #

A new owner she is abusive

Rewards for positive behavior. More involvment in company. More training and retraining .

Peole need to communicate and remain clam.

Told close completely. Get new managers. Pay more. Dont disrespect the ONLY worker you have

Review from Customer Success Dept

Hire better employees, promote teamwork, concentrate on quality of product and service instead of speed.
