Productive staff and fun but only giving 1-2 shifts
Hungry Jacks Crew Member (Current Employee) - Northern Territory - 6 February 2023
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedNot giving much schedule, some of the staffs talk about others in their own language and some of them making fun of other races. Management favors same country where they came from and not giving a good amount of shifts to other races.

Stressful at times but fun
Hungry Jacks Crew Member (Former Employee) - Waurn Ponds VIC - 31 January 2023
I can’t speak for every single hungry jacks manager but mine was really nice. The workers were focused and dedicated to their job but were kind and could have a laugh. It’s a good job for what it is.
Pros
Nice people
Cons
Few shifts, pay isn’t the best

Poor management
Hungry Jacks Crew Member (Former Employee) - Muswellbrook NSW - 8 January 2023
Poor management, treat crew members poorly. Not proper training. Needs new management urgently. Treat staff unfairly over minor mistakes that could have been prevented if correct training was offered.

Busy and demanding workplace
Shift Manager (Former Employee) - NSW Western Sydney - 3 January 2023
Workplace is hectic, demanding and really busy. You are required to basically do everything as an all rounder. Job is what it is but the people you work with makes it easy or extremely difficult for you.

Overall a good experience
Crew Member (Former Employee) - Casula NSW - 3 January 2023
Working there was fun and the crew was very diverse, some of them even becoming lifelong friends. An eye opener of a job, by that I mean you learn a lot about that part of the workforce and the pros and cons. Working in the food industry was in my experience a much needed experience, taught me how to treat people who work in different franchises all across the board and how to be a better person in general

Busy, Fast Paced work environment with pretty good people
Crew Member (Former Employee) - Whitfords Beach WA - 31 December 2022
Like most jobs, mangers can make or break it. In my time at Hungry Jacks I saw some pretty good ones and some, 'less' 'good' ones. Often managers hadn't managed to find someone to replace a shift so it would get very busy and demanding for the already stressed crew. The rush hours normally went for an hour and a half, but felt like two, and when it was quiet it always dragged. Pay wasn't bad, and I made some good friends along the way. Definitely a good first job, but would not recommend to someone who wants a more serious career.
Pros
Decent Pay, Chilled when quiet
Cons
Long Rush Hours, Some managers sub-par.

Working at Hungry Jacks
Hungry Jacks Crew Member (Current Employee) - Glendenning NSW - 20 December 2022
I love working at Hungry Jacks for the experience and the great people you’ll meet. The work itself will be tiring and can easily drain people although it is a great first job and I would recommended everyone to have a job in fast food at least once.

Good place to meet new people who will likely be easy to get along with and fun to work with in a collaborative and efficient sense
Front of House Staff (Current Employee) - Hoxton Park NSW - 12 December 2022
The most enjoyable part of this job is being able to meet customers which genuinely surprise you and put a smile onto your face whilst the least enjoyable spectrum of the job is that it is fast-paced meaning that your head has to constantly be aware and have a good sense of memory or stress will overpile and it will become too overwhelming
Pros
50% discount when on break
Cons
Can be very stressful and overwhelming at times

Buildup of friendships but not management
Crew Member (Current Employee) - Parkmore VIC - 11 December 2022
The overall work experience is good- it helps you grow and be an independent person. You are able to make friends. The managers are okay, however, some can be a bit bossy. On the contrary, the pay is not bad. Rude customers can come by, which can be a bit stressing but it allows you to develop social skills. In general, you have to be calm, open minded and assertive when dealing with your customers and fellow employees, if ever they tell at you, DO NOT YELL BACK, tell the manager about the situation ASAP, and if they did not do anything, contact your restaurant manager or HR department. A friendly tip, ask for help if you're struggling.

Good first timer job
Cashier (Former Employee) - Fortitude Valley QLD - 7 December 2022
Good for a first job. The crew were pretty friendly but management wasn’t great and wouldn’t recommend. Would be good for someone who is studying as there is little To no career progression.

Depends on the store but overall not the greatest first experience.
Hungry Jacks Crew Member (Former Employee) - New South Wales - 28 November 2022
Was my first job and it is great for those people who work well in teams and are great at working under pressure. This was my store, so it may differ from others, my store was understaffed for the day shifts during the week. Which made rush hours horrible and really stressful. Constantly it was just me in the drive-through and 2 people out front, which required me to both take orders and pack them which obviously made things go slower. The managers would help a bit but then they would just go to the staff room and sit there on the phone. I'm currently at university but I was constantly rostered for day shifts, despite telling my managers I can't work on the days I had uni, they would still roster me. And when I would tell them I couldn't work they would try and guilt trip me into reconsidering. The store I worked in was old and had a broken AC which would kill us during the hot summer days, they would constantly cut our hours short so we wouldn't get breaks. If you can't handle difficult customers, go work somewhere else, when it comes to food you deal with really picky and stuck-up people who take it out on you when you forget something or if the food comes out not how they expect.
Pros
Worked with really great co - workers
Cons
terrible management

Poor staff management and inappropriate language from team members
Cashier (Former Employee) - Bulleen - 22 November 2022
A very unorganised work place full of girls swearing at each other and being dismissed when I was new and adapting to the computer system, food processes etc. The manager had many complaints from the consumers even when I had just started, and there was constant visits from the upper manager to check that the place was in appropriate condition. We were under a-lot of pressure and the regulation of employee stress was not managed well by the manager. Many customer complaints while observing the team during training.

Good people but bad management
Crew Member (Casual) (Former Employee) - Bull Creek WA - 17 November 2022
An excellent place to meet people but it is not organized at all. I learned to greet customers and take orders. The workplace culture was not the best. The hardest part of the job would be dealing with a rush and best meeting friends
Pros
Meeting new friends
Cons
Bad management
