Pros

Great pay, benefits and benefit co-pay is average for restaurant biz. They keep their restaurants in good repair. Decent mgr. training. Majority of the guests and employees are super. Restaurants do very good sales. Retail adds diversity to your management experience.

Cons

High mgt. turnover from top to bottom. Creates a atmosphere of fear for your job. Do not plan a long career at the Cracker Barrel. They WILL find a way to get rid of you. Real World at the Barrel: 1.) Profits 2..) Guests 3.) Employees 4.) Your manager career and quality of life - DEAD LAST. Expect to have your DM on the phone before or during every shift micro managing your day. He will create lots of expectations for your shift. To much busy work to run a great shift. Corp. has a shotgun mentality to fix problems. Everyone chasing different rabbits. I cannot recommend .theBarrel
