re: How Does Chick Fil A Get Away With It

I noticed this many moons ago at our local, which is not very interesting.

Lately though, I've noticed an interesting trend. Workforce will be totally pasty, then one day will show significant diversity. A month later, pasty again. Then diverse. Rinse and repeat.

My theory is that they are hiring diversely but unlike every other fast food chain known to man, they don't put up with the shite that creates some stereotypes and kick them out, or they quit when a place like CFA actually makes them work and treat customers decently.

There are some Reddit post that explain the process. The "owner" of each location is called the operator, and doesn't actually own the place. CFA does. They just let him operate it and keep a share of the profit. Very strict requirements. You have to start at the bottom and work up. Reddit was saying an average of 10 years before you even get a chance to apply for one. If rewarded, it is a 5 grand fee, and they handle the rest.

Hire for attitude, Train for the skill

Most people get fired for conduct and not skill

If the bar is low, you get what you get AND deserve what you get

Just popping in to rave about just how awesome Chick Fil A really is. I constantly recommend and gush over how awesome this place is. It's one of the best things about America. and I mean that.


Chick Fil A is the best.

Why! Why did you give them a target in Chick Fil A again?!

Chic Fil A does it right. Most FF owners own multiple restaurants and just want to churn a profit. The Chic Fil A owner-operators usually operate just 1 restaurant, are required to spend a certain amount of time in the restaurant, work hands on with employees, and be involved in community functions. If they don't meet these requirements or the customer satisfaction drops, the can lose their franchise. Because of this, they hire good people and have a culture that shitty employee's avoid.

I love chick fila
My favorite

The one by me is mostly black workers but still a very high quality of worker. I think they do a good job in the interview process.

Cane's is similar.

They also play Christian themed music...

Does anyone know if Chick Fil A pays their employees more? When I was in college I took a sports marketing class and I had to do a project that involved picking a company that sponsors sports related events.. I picked Chick-fil-a. I was able to interview their head of marketing and he went into detail about how important customer service is to the company and they are able to incorporate it into their marketing, etc so I know that when they have to hire someone, they just don't hire the last person who applied for a job..

And he also explained that because it is so important to the company, it has to be a two way street so they provide an environment in which their employees will take pride in their job.. He didn't go into detail on this.
