Vantaggi

5 years ago, prior to the top leadership leaving/ changing (run off), the brand was poised for success. It was about growth, development, PEOPLE! No pros to be spoken of to this day

Svantaggi

You are expected to work harder than your supervisor daily. Holidays while your supervisor is off. ALL HOLIDAYS away from family, mandatory! In the brand statement you are to protect the “shareholders”, while your bonuses are held back through every form of theft I can compare it to. What was once a profit sharing business is now a profit sharing for VP or above business, paid for out of the bonus comp plans of the field (primarily from managers, general managers, and district managers). They boast high salaries and high bonus plans. Once you are in you find that the salary and lack of bonus is a complete waste of your time and efforts. If you watch the mass exodus of top leaders through the company in field positions it is evident that the “Top Seat” and board are delusional at best and only care about lining their pockets with their shares.

Vantaggi

Most coworkers were genuinely great to work with and made shifts more enjoyable. * The guest interaction and serving aspect of the job is something I personally enjoy. * Some shifts could be positive depending on staffing and team on duty.

Svantaggi

*Management was often unprofessional with inconsistent communication and expectations. * Certain coworker behavior occasionally affected morale and created a less positive work environment. * There was a noticeable blame culture where issues were not handled in a constructive way. * In my experience, bringing up workplace concerns or uncomfortable situations did not always feel welcomed or supported, and it sometimes felt like speaking up led to negative attention. * Scheduling and hours were inconsistent, making it hard to rely on stable income. * Inconsistent scheduling sometimes resulted in difficult shift patterns, including working split doubles (such as 9–3 followed by a 4–close shift), which often meant not getting out until around 10:30 PM and then repeating the pattern on consecutive days. * Training was limited, and expectations were often unclear, which made the job more stressful than it needed to be. * In my experience, HR concerns or formal complaints did not feel like they were taken seriously or addressed in a meaningful way.
