Culture

Here to Serve

We take great pride in serving our employees by giving them tools to help them achieve their goals, and providing them with recognition along the way. Education is an important component of this initiative. We offer leadership and business training through Tacala Leadership University (TLU), company funded GED certification and the opportunity to apply for college and vocational school scholarships.

Tacomonials

My name is Cassandra England, and I joined the Tacala family 10 years ago as a drive-thru cashier. I love my job as a Market Training Leader, because I get to pay it forward by coaching team members from the Tennessee Market and helping them grow into successful leaders. Tacala has been there for me every step of the way, and now I have the opportunity to do the same for our future leaders.

My favorite Taco Bell menu item: Chicken Quesadilla

If I could design a sauce packet, what would it say? “I’m the taco warrior!”

My name is Bernard Evans, and I am the Restaurant Leader in Phenix City, Alabama.

Being a part of Tacala has impacted my life tremendously! Tacala has improved my professional development in ways I would have never imagined. As a two time winner of the Team Tacala Scholarship, Tacala helped me further my education and earn my Associates Degree. This company is committed to helping each and every individual in the Tacala family grow and become the best version of themselves. I would strongly recommend anyone to join our team! Tacala isn’t just a job; it’s the place to jumpstart a career and bring out the best in yourself. Join us!

Tacala Leadership University

Tacala Leadership University (TLU) offers classes for Shift Leaders, Restaurant Leaders, and Area Coaches teaching them leadership skills, team building and the importance of serving others. Leaders and Coaches also have the opportunity to learn communication, customer service and business skills. TLU is one of the many ways we invest in our teams and set them up for success.

Recognition

Our recognition culture is designed to reward excellence and encourage our teams and leaders to perform their best, strive to advance their career and consistently deliver positive results. Rewards and recognition come in many forms including bonuses, shout outs, fun events, trophies, pizza parties, company paid vacations and more.

Team Tacala Scholarships

In 2014, Tacala initiated the Team Tacala Scholarship fund to provide team members who were graduating High School or enrolled in college with access to scholarship support removing a financial barrier to post-secondary education. Funded by the company as well as proceeds from the Team Tacala Scholarships Golf Experience, Team Tacala Charities has awarded over 450 scholarships.

We are proud to support and encourage the future thinkers, doers and leaders of our country.
