• Dick's Wages Are Higher

  Dick's is a family-owned company that treats its employees like family. This commitment means that Dick's employees are paid more, and receive better benefits, than the employees of any other fast food restaurants in the Seattle area.

Merit raises can increase your hourly wage to $9.75-$10.75 per hour within two years. Shift Managers earn up to $4.00 per hour over-and-above their base wage. Store Managers earn considerably more.

  As far as we know, no other fast food restaurant in the Seattle area even comes close to Dick's in it commitment to employees. Dick's employees earn this recognition by working harder to give every Dick's customer the fastest service around, without ever compromising Dick's historic commitment to quality and the highest levels of health and sanitation. Dick's employees are probably the most loyal in the industry: almost one-third of all Dick's employees have worked for the company for 2 years or more. Although Dick's commitment to it's employees, like Dick's commitment to quality food, costs more in the short-run, it has been an excellent long-run strategy by giving both customers and employees extra value.
