    A very easy and good paying job.
    The good thingsFun workplace with teenagers and young adults. Easy to work there, very chill. Easy training. The flexibility of deciding what you want to do. There is the choice between being a cook, being an assembler (packing orders while handling uber/doordash/menulog and setting things on plates), being a wrapper (making wraps and burgers) and being both the POS person and waitress. All of these are important and team work is required, and all of these include cleaning of course.
    The challengesOverwhelming to memorise recipes and the menu, but a need and soon helps significantly. Sometimes, there could be drama between co-workers because of the youthful workplace.

    Bustling environment with great coworkers
    The good thingsIt's a great place to work - the energy of the team and store is good. It pays pretty well and hours are usually consistent. It can get very busy but most people are equipped to handle it
    The challengesCommunication can be an issue - whether it's not being updated on how certain procedures are changed/added or occasionally being micromanaged

    This was the most painstakingly stressful job I have ever worked, the cook being me most of the time, was always on their own with absolutely zero help. There was no encouragement do strive and thrive in the place you were quite literally on your own.
    The good thingsThe pay was decent, the food was good if it was cooked properly.
    The challengesThe bosses are all very rude and always put the blame for their mess up on the innocent workers, and they never looked out for us.

    It’s great to work in an environment full of compassion-driven colleagues whom you can call family which portrays a non-stressful workplace.
    The good thingsWe work as a team and treat each like a family.
    The challengesBusy days are hectic but through working together we manage to deliver and provide food instantly.

    A great company that is still young and that has so much potential to grow!
    The good thingsIt's great to be part of a company that lives its values and actually demonstrates guidance, support, and empathy where and when it matters. I have been able to grow in my role and add value to the brand and our network with some cool projects.
    The challengesCovid made things difficult for me as I was not able to see people in person but the company ensured that we connected remotely as best as possible. The biggest challenge would have to be being disciplined to focus on the most important projects and completing those on time without further distractions.

    Good people, Good work culture.
    The good thingsI have been working with Schnitz for 8+ years, working in a store and now at the Support office. The culture around work has always been a main highlight at Schnitz as everyone supports one another in any way possible and everyone works together as a family. The business always focuses on it's 4 core values; Compassion, Family, Integrity, Quality and it's reflected on their employees and the work culture. As mentioned, I started my journey with Schnitz as a Team Member at a Restaurant and I was given the opportunity to explore my career options at the Support office. There are amazing opportunities within the business if anyone would like to progress further in their role/career.
    The challengesThe day to day tasks working in a restaurant can be challenging which are common in the hospitality industry (eg: difficult situations with customers etc.) but I believe it's part of learning. In saying that, if there ever was an uncomfortable situation the managers would always be open to discuss and resolve any challenges. Working in Support office - The only challenge so far would be the daily commute but the business has flexible work arrangements which helps tremendously.
