• Before Orientation •
How will I know when my Orientation is?
All of our communication happens through email. If you've already completed your paperwork, you will be receiving a welcome email with an invitation to your Orientation and the password to our TEAM PAGE.
I ride the bus. Is there a bus stop near the Orientation location?
Yes! If you ride The TANK, there are several TANK bus stops right next to our office on Monmouth St - we are located on the #16 - West Newport/Ft. Thomas route. CLICK HERE to view all TANK routes and schedules.
How will I get my schedule after my first week?
After your welcome email, you will receive another email with your training schedule. You may also receive an invitation from HotSchedules to assist in setting up your account to access your schedule. The easiest way to use HotSchedules is by downloading the free app to your smartphone (linked below). CLICK HERE to watch a video on how to use the HotSchedules App to view your schedule, request time off, etc.
• Orientation & Training •
What should I wear to my Orientation?
Business casual (polo and jeans) is preferred. You may dress a bit more casually as long as your outfit is appropriate (no gym shorts, short shorts, tank/crop tops, etc.). You will receive and change into your official uniform during your Orientation.
When do I start training? How long will I be in training?
Your first day will consist of Orientation and a few brief online modules. Your hands-on training will begin on your second day of work. CLICK HERE to learn more about what your Chick-fil-A Newport Journey could look like.
• After Orientation •
Who do I report to? If I have questions, who do I ask?
If you have questions during your first week of training, please feel free to ask your trainer. They will do their best to find the answers for you! Otherwise, you will report to the leaders of your department, who are always available to serve you however needed. Please visit our WHO WE ARE page to meet our restaurant leaders.
I'm a hard worker and a fast learner! How quickly can I advance?
There are requirements for each step in your Chick-fil-A Journey, and it is intentionally designed to allow people in all stages on their life to grow at their own pace. You can realistically expect to advance as quickly as you're able to demonstrate expertise in your current position. You could become a Certified Trainer in a few months, and an Assistant Manager in less than a year, but there is no pressure to move faster than your life allows you to! CLICK HERE to learn more about what your Chick-fil-A Newport Journey could look like.
What kind of benefits am I eligible for?
Along with competitive pay based on your availability (and tiered pay increases as you advance), employee meals, and health insurance offerings, you will be eligible for many other benefits as you grow within our organization, and as your tenure increases with us. CLICK HERE to visit our Benefits page.
When do we get paid?
You will get paid bi-weekly, or every other week, on Friday. If you choose to use Direct Deposit, you will not receive a physical check. If you do not want to use Direct Deposit, you will be issued a physical check, which you can pick up on or after payday anytime except for peak hours (11a-2p, 5p-8p).
