Taco Bell Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I worked at Taco Bell for 3 yrs. In those 3 yrs, I saw more deceitful, conniving, back handed crap than I'd seen ever in my life!!! They don't schedule enough crew to start with, then it never failed I'd get 3 brand new people to train all at once!! I'm only one person, who's already down 2 people. Yes, they gave me 3, but what good is it if they can't make the food or I'm having to help them on the register? Finally when I quit, the straw that broke my camel's back, was on Saturday night Labor Day weekend. I came in at 7 to close, no biggie. We were stupid busy and at 8:30, I noticed that my closer hadn't gotten there yet. I had another manager call her, what he told me made my blood boil! She was sick, & had called in at 10 am!! Nobody replaced her shift, so I started on the phone list. Nobody would come in, called my store manager, told him and his exact words to me was this, " I've already put my 12 hrs in. Do whatever you need to do". I put down the phone and looked at the floor plan. Except for my drive thru cashier, they all got off at 10. So, at 10 pm on Saturday night, I closed Taco Bell. Even cleaned it, put up carryover, did a real close. I left my manager a note with my keys and left for the last time."

"The company is a great place to work."

"Though the staff and the supervisors were good, the conditions of the company were not that great. For starters, they relied heavily on an operating system for their computers that continually crashed or did not read input. Furthermore, the managerial system in place in the computers was near obsolete; the system that was in place to help ease the burden of management would instead create more of a burden by being extremely unreliable and volatile, for it would be completely erased nightly."
