Boring work, illogical culture. - Senior Analyst Burger King Employee Review

Let's start with the current recruiting practices - it's completely unnecessary to send interviewees home in the middle of the day, given that you paid for their airfare and hotel to Miami. The "crossfire" of executives attempting to shoot down your morale in a final round is far from representative of day to day work life, and leaves a bad taste in many applicants' mouths. Several interviewees I spoke to refused the offer based off of this experience, and I wouldn't fault them. "Meritocracy" is a word that you will hear constantly describing the culture in an attempt to differentiate BK from other companies. Kind of a strange point given that most companies are meritocratic if they're worth working for (check Forbes best companies list). BK also needs to stop pretending they're an investment bank, especially if the comp isn't close to that type of pay. You're a fast food company and you aren't fooling anyone. I could go on and on about why BK is the pits, but I want to emphasize morale as a final point. The turnover is ridiculous because this company doesn't value their people. Working there for a year, I saw a third of my trainee class come and go- and even more employees higher in the food chain. The company simply doesn't care. They won't compensate overtime dinners (maybe once a quarter), provide staplers or basic office supplies, or provide opportunities for you to hone a skill besides data entry. One of the largest departments is looked down upon by everyone else (readily apparent in email tone and everyday interactions), and the lower compensation for their workers is indicative that even HR feels the same way. How can someone come to work excited when they're treated like their job means nothing? BK has a long way to go in topping their competitor. At the rate of people jumping ship, I'm curious to see if it will ever happen.
