Testimonials

Jennifer Himilech, General Manager- Indiana Division
“The flexibility of Steak n Shake really works well for me and my family. I’m able to schedule hours that allow me to work, yet still spend time with my kids.”

Jamie Blatnik, General Manager- Illinois/Chicago Division
“Steak n Shake provides a working environment that is suited to all types of individuals. They provide positive feedback, recognizing when someone has done an outstanding job, or gone out of their way for customers. They believe in celebrating success.”

Grant Hoke, General Manager- Illinois / Chicago Division
“ What first interested me in Steak n Shake was the growth potential—for both individuals and the Company. Today, I have more responsibility, make more money and am more satisfied with how my career is going. I have only been with the company for a little over two years, but I have already risen to General Manager level. I am now opening new stores for the Company in a growing market.”

Nadine Gabbidon, General Manager- Southern Florida Division
“Besides my regular responsibilities of payroll, sales forecasting, employee review and scheduling, I love creating a happy environment for both Associates and guests. My goal is to make everyone feel like they are a guest in my house—not a customer in a restaurant.”

Rodney Spearman, Restaurant Manager- Illinois/Chicago Division
“As a result of being a leader every day at work, I have learned how to communicate more effectively. In addition, I have learned how to motivate, direct, and lead associates. As a leader, I have learned how to do fiscal planning, conduct meetings, and set goals for my restaurant. Furthermore, I have learned how to recognize, recruit and develop talented individuals for the future success of our company.”

James Gies, District Manager- Illinois/Chicago Division
“I have learned that my success does not depend on what I can do, but rather on what I can achieve through others. Running a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week store requires me to build a competent organization of hard-working individuals, identify their skills and abilities, teach them to leverage their talents, and then support them by providing a great working environment.”
