approvedFor people who work at Popeyes, it's not all chicken sandwich chaos. In fact, the job actually has a few perks among the stressful parts. Straight from Popeyes employees, here's what it's like to work for one of the biggest names in fast food chicken.

It's pretty much a given that if you work in the fast food business, you're going to be on your feet for several hours. Popeyes employees can expect the occasional crowds during the lunch and dinner rushes, and the introduction of the chicken sandwich has only amplified that. The chicken sandwich has been nothing short of exhausting for employees, and getting a break is almost unheard of.

Popeyes manager Wanda Lavender told Vox that she stands for 10 to 12 hours a day and that her legs are still numb from the work and that she hasn't recovered. Lavender's experience is hardly the exception. According to Business Insider, some Popeyes employees were pulling 60-hour weeks to meet the public's chicken sandwich demands. Even before the chicken sandwich craze, work at Popeyes was no walk in the park. A high school-age employee posted on Reddit that they would work until 1 a.m. before getting up at the crack of dawn for school. Obviously, comfortable shoes are a must with this job.
