Pros

Whataburger pays their managers well and they have a pretty good benefit and 401k system. Overtime is a requirement for all managers so the paychecks are pretty good. Get paid every week rather than bi-weekly. Closed on Christmas.

Cons

As far as advancement within the company, I think it all depends on who likes you the most and not so much your skill level. Long hours and usually requires me to work odd hours as the company is open 24/7. Only closed on Christmas and no other national holidays.

Pros

At the Kingsfield and Highway 29 Location, I found that the people I worked with made it worth it. The rush hours were sometimes quite fun when everyone was flowing well. Pay raises are yearly with your annual review. They encourage moving up in the company.

Cons

Customer Service can be terrible for your mental health. I received a 20-cent pay raise, though it was for one year.
