Chick-Fil-A has one huge benefit that most don't see at a glance: Sunday's off. It's easy to dismiss this as some sort of imposition of Christian values on workers but in the service industry, it is rare that you're able to coordinate time off very far in advance. With Chick-fil-A workers know they have every single Sunday off no matter how far off in the future their plans may be.

In high school friends who worked there loved it because it meant they knew they could go out on Saturday nights without worry about having a Sunday morning shift. Want to buy tickets for a concert six months away? If it was on Sunday you knew 100% for sure that you could go. Meanwhile I worked at a grocery store and my schedule was different pretty much every week. For people who work M-F jobs, it's easy to forget the difficulty in making weekend plans when you don't know very far in advance what days or hours you'll being required to be at work.

Since they are franchised, I doubt there's some standard that applies across all stores. There are news stories about specific franchise owners with high minimums.

I’m not sure, but Chik Fil A also has programs to pay for college.
