Life on the River

What led you to CFA BRR? "I had just graduated from Benedict College with my degree in Business Administration.  I was looking for restaurant experience with the goal of one day running my own restaurant.  I was considering pursuing the path to becoming an Operator or maybe even other opportunities within Chick-fil-A Corporate." What kept you at CFA BRR? "The people I work with are why I love my job.  My favorite thing is helping our team members continue to develop both professionally and personally.  And to me, its often the little things that matter the most.  Recently, I was serving a guest in the drive thru during breakfast.  I started shaking up her OJ bottle (like I always do).  It was such a big deal to her and she was so impressed with the care we show even in such small details.  I think that's what working at CFA BRR is all about."

"I need a job! No, but the people here are the heart of the organization.  My coworkers are awesome.  Chick-fil-A pulls from a strong talent pool so turnover is lower than at most restaurants.  The friends I have at work are easy to relate to  and they care about their job.  Sure, there are some rough days, but somehow those almost always turn into funny stories!" What's next?

Amber's first job at age sixteen was working in customer service at Chick-fil-A in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  She learned the value of hard work, but more importantly she learned how to treat others.  After relocating to Florida, Amber determined that she would only apply to work at Chick-fil-A.  She can remember praying through her entire interview at a Chick-fil-A in Tampa, only to find out later, the hiring manager knew immediately he would offer her the job.   Then came the pandemic.  In the midst of a multitude of challenges, her CFA family continued to care for her by throwing a baby shower as she welcomed her daughter into the world.  One of her managers even assisted her in financing a car so she could continue to work to provide for her family.   In time, Amber made the decision to move back to South Carolina to be closer to family, once again determining that working at Chick-fil-A was the only job she would pursue.  ...
