Positive and Fun Environment
California pizza kitchen has been my favorite job so far. I have felt nothing but positivity, helpfulness, and support from this community. It is a very busy and high stress location however I feel that it has given me an extreme amount of experience in this type of environment. We are held to high standards that only make us that much better of workers, and a happy place to work reflects how easy it is to give good customer service .

was great until the company was sold. Then all the people making a decent living were fired or ran off. This included regional managers, managers, bartenders, and cooks. All were replaced with sub standard people that got paid far less than what was a fair rate

One of the best companies to work for
Everyday at work was filled with joy and energy from guest as well as staff there is nothing like working with people who are passionate about what they do and how its done best the hardest things to go through was to tell your guest that they took your as well their favorite item off the menu. other then that some of my favorite times were spent with the CPK family

Very busy from start to finish, no breaks, and one manager was a total jerk. The time your shift was told would to be over, is often a lie because you leave later if you do closing.
