Getta Burger

There are so many things that are wrong with Gettaburger that listing them all would probably result in me writing a chapter book. So in short none of this company is worth your time. Here are just some of the reasons: 

1. The pay.
You are paid the absolute minimum wage. There are no opportunities that allow you to ask for a raise or move up a “level” no matter how experienced you are. They will expect you to perform task that a manager should be doing without paying for promoting you. Gettaburger’s employees, managers (that aren’t in HQ) in particular are very underpaid and overworked, with many of them burnt out or completely clueless on what to do. On top this half the time you are expected to run the store completely alone for hours on end during busy periods so the company can save on wages. If you get to work early and start early, management will go through and change the clock in times to later (even if you work during that time). The same goes for clock off times, if you stay later upon request to help they will still change your clock off time to what you were rostered for. The whole company is money hungry and is all about exploiting employees and customers in order to turn a profit.

2. Work/life balance.
If you plan on getting a job here be prepared to throw your life away, especially in management. Store managers get one day off a week (if they’re lucky) and a majority of the time they are called into work those days due to understaffing/unreliable management. Even on days that you are sick with doctors advice to stay home or recent hospital discharges. You will be called into work non stop at all hours even if you’ve already worked above the legal weekly limit. Management will also randomly have your shifts cut without notice so they can save on wages. It is very hard to schedule things outside of work when you don’t know what it going on. Every aspect of this job is disorganized. 

3. Work environment
You are working in a very small kitchen that is very hot (40+ degrees with no fans or aircon) and dangerous. The floor is always slippery no matter what shoes you wear or how much you mop the floor. You will come home covered in grease, salt dust and sauce and smelling like a deep fryer/grill. Any items of clothing or shoes you wear will be immediately ruined - no matter how many times you wash them the smell does not go away. The stores are so run down with broken equipment. Most of the employees in the store are alright, however there are a select few that like to harass others, even after addressing them and management about your complaints, nothing can really be done. Some are lazy and expect others to do the job for them and do not care for others safety or personal space. Staff are quitting left right and centre and it is impossible to catch up. Overall the work environment is very stressful and depressing. 

4.Expectations
You are expected to pick up the job almost immediately with zero training from management, everything you learn is from your fellow employees (who btw are not paid to train you). You will be taken advantage of and overworked. There is no support from management or the owners of GB, they are just after the profits and will ignore any issues you address. The customers and upper management do not treat you with an ounce of respect or dignity. 

There are way better places out there to work for. If you value your life at all, please do not work here. 

Typically speaking the workplace environment is super easy going, with orders coming in gradually throughout the day you have the time to finish orders with confidence. However at peak times (Such as lunch and dinner) the limited time frame you have might make things slightly more stressful. If you do not go well under pressure then the environment during these times may not be for you.

The hardest part of the job for me was learning everything. You will receive training in the area you are required to work in (such as the build-bench, the fryer, or taking orders at the register) however most of your learning will come from working in the environment first hand, which for anyone with limited experience in the line of work may struggle a little.

The best part of the job would definitely have to be the social environment. Employees are super friendly and supportive and management is reasonable and understanding.

The job itself is easy, however management have a lot to learn about looking after their people. When they decide that you are not useful to them any more they cut your hours to nothing & do not communicate.  This business is highly unprofessional & they struggle to keep their staff. Their managers are stressed due to not having the support needed from higher management. Most stores don't have air conditioning & those that do, don't work & it's a hassle to get management to get someone out to fix it.  If you enjoy working in 40+ degree heat, this is the place for you  If you like stress, no communication & bosses that don't care about their people, then go ahead & apply, but if this is unappealing to you, don't waste your time.  There are better places out there to work for.

Worked here as a Store manager for a number of years. They didn’t care when I resigned, clearly disposable. I came back to work casually as a second job, to help them out only to receive no shifts after 3 weeks. After asking them why all I got was that they had to cut labour. Why hire me again in that case if you can’t afford to? The Quality for the money you pay for the products is just not there anymore. They only care about money not about their staff or their customers. Wouldn’t recommend working here at all. They used to be a great company but seems they’ve lost their way. Wouldn’t be surprised if they go fully under in the next 12 months if they don’t take a long hard look at their ways of working. Area managers are severely over worked and the store managers as well. 

Getta Burger can be summed up in two words

oblivious owners.

- staff expected to work during busy periods completely alone for hours on end, sometimes 6+ hours. this is so they can save money
- non stop calls from managers begging you to come in on days off when you've already worked 6 days in a row.
- no support from actual owners, they just took the profit and ignored all staff issues
- staff quitting left and right  because the workplace is depressing and stressful 
- area managers completely burnt out and lost on what to do most of the time

please just don't work here.

This company is literally hanging on by a thread. How they are still operating is a big surprise.
Very high staff turnover, especially In management. Half the managers quit in the first few months of the year.
Operation managers never lasted more than 6 months at a time.
Area managers severely overworked 
Huge amount of micro-management from upper management 
Stores are literally falling apart, no money spent on maintenance until something breaks, then blame the staff for the equipment breaking.


Owners expect so much from you for very little to nothing in return. You can’t really do anything right in the eyes of the owners because they’re almost micromanaging when they shouldn’t be dealing with much work related issues from a store stance. Unless you find yourself one of the lucky employees that the owner really likes in which case you can be monumentally horrible at your job but still can do no wrong.

It was alright at first but then I started getting no shifts whatsoever because sales went over and all my shifts were cut for several weeks. The staff were nice to me/didn't speak to me at all, they all have interesting stories though. Uber can get confusing and the customers get impatient easily and abusive quickly. I had a lot of anxiety attacks while there. But it wasn't as terrible as I've described it. The hours go by super quickly so that's good.

Upper management was horrid, operational manager hired his friend as workers they weren't able to perform their duties. bad pay bad training and hours cut drastically to help the company turn a profit. unhealthy good practices, and well take advantage of causal employees. 

I hate to say something bad but truly this was the most disorganised place I have ever worked. The stores are in complete disarray with failing equipment and broken appliances. Management will call at all hours to get you to come in on your days off. Basically zero training, middle management is stressed with no support, overall would only recommend to highschoolers looking for a little experience before moving on.
