I am a crew trainer at a Burgerking in Canada, and I have
to say that I'm sorry to see that there is such a difference
between our two stores. We are by no means perfect, but we
observe our food safety policies and do not serve out-of-date
products. We do have other problems, however. I personally
feel that BK could be more loyal to its employees in that only
salary managers have any benefits.The "U" word (union) is practically grounds for termination
in any of our stores, and though many of us have tried to form
one, it has quickly been put to a halt.Full-time employees and shift-coordinators do
not have any benefits, plans, paid vacations, sick leave, or
even maternity leave. There is a salary cap for all wage
employees. Regular crew cannot make $1 over minimum wage.Year after year, our best employees are denied raises. They
get stellar reviews but are told, "Sorry, you're at the salary
cap." It hurts our morale and our productivity because the
company is so cheap, yet they pay $10, 000+ for each store to
cover over the outside brick with stucco. It really makes you
hate the guys at the top.
