Pros

When I was a server at the Cracker Barrel, I rarely made less than $10 an hour in tips, plus the $2.83 hourly base pay. Shifts went by quickly, and the customer turn-around was very quick. I rarely felt overwhelmed, as each server allowed a very manageable number of tables.

Cons

At times I felt the management was incompetent, and that the store would be better run by someone who has worked there a long time, rather than managers who undergo training for that position only.

Pros

My staff is great and work very hard for me. Floor moves are easy to understand. The company is very agressive in making changes that help to keep us in business.

Cons

Your always on even if it your day off. Conference calls schedule as after thoughts in the middle of the wk which is when they want you to be off. Phone message system that must be check several times a day. Restaurant managers calling you for things they should handle.
