Everything was fine until new owners and management took over from Sri Lanka (Arcadian Restaurants to FMI) and changed all shifts to three hours a day split shifts and that pushed everybody out. As a manager I went from making my own schedule to coming in twice or three times a day for tiny little shifts. I’d been there the least amount of time and I was there like 6 years before being booted out. Most of the other staff were there over a decade. Especially from the lakeshore location. Management had no care in the world to see these people go and now look at all 3 affiliated kfc locations, 100% people of a certain ethnic background. 

All the "benefits" offered are a lie. You'll get no benefits unless you're personal friends or family with management. Wont give you hours for weeks and will call you in to cover for the guy they hired to replace you when they call in. "It's our slow peroid" they'll tell you. So now you starve because you won't get hours because those poor souls who own the place only make 30k that month instead of 50. These corporations are out of control.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There is no best part. You work extremely hard just to be pooped on in the long run.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Everything. Nothing you do is good enough. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The higher up management doesn’t care about you. They just care about their bonuses and if the store is getting cleaned. Terrible. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful. Can’t get 5 minutes of peace without being messaged on my personal phone on an app that I was forced to get to do something.

Senior Managers are the worst. If you see closely they need managers in every store they have. This is all a show. They will hire you but then they will throw you out or stress you out. Because the senior managers wont let you stay there. They want their own people to work in their team. Firthermore they want the bonus for themselves. The seniors they dont care who you are what you do all they want is to join and leave and show to the owners oh we are not finding good employees or managers. If you want to make your life complicated join FMI group.

English is never spoken in the kitchen unless directly towards one of the very few English speaking workers. Management is very poor at communicating things like position changes or new trainees, leading to confusion and temporary chaos. Trainees are given incredibly insufficient time to learn their job before having to do it alone and receiving the same judgement as a trained employee. This place is absolutely horrible as a first job and you deserve better.

This is my first job and one of my worst experience. People are too lazy to teach you things when you're new so they tell you to learn yourself. When you try and make mistakes, they are always here to blame you. Most people will show you something once but never again. The salary is weak for all you have to learn and do. Even in winter, you have to wear company t-shirt and it's freezing because of the drive-through.

Horrible management 
No training before going to floor
toxic work culture 
Employees needs to please manager to get hours
Can’t put your opinion they won’t appreciate it 
Bias manager 
Higher authority doesn’t care about employees. Even after complaining in HR no response.
People losing jobs without warning or reason 
Full time employee even doesn’t get 30 hrs/ week 

I learn a lot while working here. I learn how to multitask, manage a team and costumer service; how solve any problem the costumer has. Obviously the hardest part of this jobs is to deal with very unhappy customer but its something that I can say I am very good at and the most enjoyable part of job is being able to interact with people.
