From Carhop to the Top

Not to put the cherry in our own Limeade, but SONIC has a great reputation for growing careers. Seriously, next time you’re at your local SONIC, ask the Manager how she or he started – we’re willing to bet it was as a Cook or a Carhop. Whatever your goals, there’s a place for you here, and plenty of opportunities for you to grow with us.
