Blaze Pizza

i have worked here for little over two years, and have never had an issue with anyone. however the turnover rate for management has been ridiculous. current management set up provides unfair expectations and requirements for anyone wanting to move up in their career and they treat their employees unfair and disrespectfully. not to mention how significantly underpayed the staff are for the amount of work needed to be there. secret shopper reports to allow staff to get their bonuses have unrealistic and unfair standards and requirements and set the restaurant up for failure every time, which in turn causes management to become difficult to work with because its the responsibility of the supervisors and their staff (most people aged from 14-18 who are still in school and care little for the job anyway) to accommodate these ridiculous expectations and shoppers of their standards on top of the hundred different duties required from them for their day to day responsibilities. on top of that, management has a terrible quality of playing favoritism among certain staff of same race. 

all around terrible company to work for and i hope anyone who considers this job understands that the work place in general and the people made it great which should be enough for customer service. But the standards and expectations of it from management and management themselves make it terrible.

After being yelled at and basically berated in front of my co-workers, I had to quit the next day and couldn't even go back because of how uncomfortable it was. Still haven't brought back my uniform because I haven't heard back from them, and haven't even heard from HR after reporting that horrible incident. Management is the worse, and could not care less about whoever is below them. 

I was real excited to work here because they sold it like it was going to be fun and beneficial and all that. But it wasn't, I had a real problem with the fact that I was the only one with a smartserve in a shift. Even the PIC didn't have it. That was stupid, because I would have to basically stop whatever I was doing just to accomodate cash. Which was inconvenient because of how many tasks they would give you despite knowing that there's 10 additional tasks they forgot they gave you 10 minutes ago. 

The only thing good about this job was the first two weeks when the management were actually nice and would listen to you. But wait until they get annoyed of you, they'd scream about how much "attitude" you're giving to them (despite no evidence) and how they've had enough of you but their inferior complex sure shows the actual reason why they're lashing out on you. I wouldn't recommend this job even if it's the last thing. Look somewhere else. Trust me. It's not worth it. Especially for your mental health.

I have worked at Blaze now for a couple of months and have enjoyed it overall. My only issue with it has been management. I started working there right when the store opened and as such was expecting to have some problems. Management will shorten your hours if she is upset with you and is very petty with the people she doesn't like. Also will get mad if you font accept the hours without question. The scripting they give is very fake and they willl call you out on it if you dont say it exactly as written. Only get 50% off during your shift.  They will push you for speed and only sped. The online orders are expected to be put infront of customers in the store causing them to get mad at you. They said we would be getting two shirts and a hat only recieved one. Breaks are sometimes missed as i usually make sure to ask for mine. If you are scheduled tilll close then you are expected to stay until everything is done which means you wont get a break even if you are staying very late. 

Other crew workers are really nice and fun. Shift leads are great and accommodating.

I, as a full time high school student who was volunteering and engaging in extracurriculars,(management was aware of this) was working 30 hours or more a week. Although management was also aware that I was reliant on public transport, I was frequently forced to work past when it stops running. I was walking home two hours at 1 AM at least twice a week. This continually occurred despite my advocating for my safety and sanity. One day I had a migraine and was throwing up and I was still expected to work(gross). There were several times that I didn’t get a break during a 7 hour shift(illegal). It was genuinely the worst experience of my life and didn’t stay long. Thanks to this position, over a year later I still hyperventilate and become anxious when I see the restaurant or smell the cleaning solution Blaze uses. My coworkers were awesome though, and I sincerely hope that they’ve been able to move on to better things.

Abstract: Stressful and overworked for minimum wage   

Blaze Pizza is honestly the worst job I've worked at to date. The work environment is terrible, the managers watch your every move only to comment on everything you do wrong. Its overly stressful for no reason. Our script of "please and thank you's/please follow your pizza down the line" is fake and annoying; although we say please and thank you, customers or "guests" can tell we don't mean it. The main thing with blaze is that we're supposed to go fast but when going fast is all you care about you lack in your genuine care for customers. Managers send people home when they aren't busy only to be understaffed when it comes time to close??? Higher ups place too much pressure on managers > shift leads > team members. Managers are extremely demeaning. Only positive is that the team members are very nice to work with.

The job is fast paced and never slows down. Management were extremely petty about how much cheese to put on a pizza but customers are always asking for extra toppings, what did you expect. 

Managers will try to micro manage you and always talking about saving money. Managers are going to make sure you ask irrelevant questions to the customers all the time, even during rush hour.

They are not flexible. You can try giving 2 weeks notice to book days off but they wont be satisfied and likely to say no. If you're new hire then you will likely get all the closing shifts after completing your training (Have fun cleaning until 2 am ). 

Managers expect maximum effort of service and quality from you. You honestly don't get paid enough (even with tips) to go through this. There are many easier and better jobs to work for minimum wage.

I initially worked at Blaze to open the John street store which is now permanently closed. I loved the hiring process and got to know some really cool people. We had a lot of fun and parties outside of the workplace. However the work itself was way too demanding and stressful for the 14 dollars I was making. Management never helped the team members and would talk down to us or even talk about us behind our backs. This made the overall atmosphere very sour. I hope that the management realizes that this is not how you treat your employees. The hours were way too long and they expected us to break our backs for them. Stay away from Blaze, go work somewhere else.

I think its is the bast place to work in you school life coz it has good pay and tips as well. for my self i learned a lot about work life there . Every co-worker is so friendly there ,it feels like family there and managers and supervisors are so supportive and understanding. The hardest part is training as you know nothing when you start. talking about most enjoyable is having small gathering on special occasion

It's a minimum wage job but I loved the co-workers and the manager (andrew)
It's hard and cosntant routine work (cleaning, prepping, etc)
Pros:
-The people (co-workers +customers) its in downtown so you always see something interesting
-Location (sometimes concerts, events, parades happen in front of you)
-Manager (andrew +brian) nice people, you just have to be honest and upfront, they always help anyway they can
-Health benifits (dental, etc)

Con:
The reason I left the job because of the pay, wasn't enough to support myself
-It's a similar job to McDonalds

Let me start off by saying that this job is the most stressful place to work in. The fact that managers time you during tasks and expect you to finish in an unreasonable amount of time, puts unnecessary stress on us. There's this one manger that's super annoying and talks behind everyone's backs, basically belittling them. The work environment is hostile and competitive. I would never recommend such a toxic environment to anyone and before they hire anyone else I wholeheartedly recommend that they respect and treat their employees the way they'd treat themselves.
