re: How Does Chick Fil A Get Away With It

If anyone around the Birmingham area has heard of Restoration Academy, I saw a short video the other day where CFA had them come to corporate HQ in Atlanta. These are predominantly low income black students who have been given a chance at a great private education in Fairfield. It is a Christian school, and from the video the field trip focused on core values, work ethic, and opportunities within the company. If anything, it made me feel like the company is going out of their way to incorporate diversity in the work force. The difference is that they hold everyone to a high standard.

And someone mentioned they are one of the best run companies. I'd have to agree. I knew a girl from back home that worked in the CFA in our local mall in High School. She was also an accounting major, and she got an internship or some type of job after graduation in Undergrad. I think she was planning on coming back to grad school with the rest of us to get her MBA and pursue Public Accounting, but that next semester when she wasn't in class, one of our classmates said she had been hired on full time at corporate. What started as a part time job after school when she was 16 ended up being a career position 6 years later.
