El Pollo Loco Employee

"I have been working for past 4 years. If you are a person who likes changes all the time then you can work, otherwise it's really hard to work for. Company expectations are really high. You can make good money if you clear your salary expectation. That's the only time you can get extra money, otherwise almost everyone starts at 45,000 dollars per year, which is about 16.21 per hour. Bonus is very little and hard to make it. Favoritism exists in company, big time. If you are favorite of someone you will get promoted, otherwise no chance to move up."
