Pros

A great job if you are single and enjoy being married to your job.

Cons

District management is pathetic. Lots of distrust in upper management with its field managers. Show no concerns for the salaries of its hourly employees by decreasing table stations to maximize a turn and burn philsophy for removing guest as quicky as possible from store.

Pros

The managers are held accountable for their actions. This alone is what has separated my experience at Cracker Barrel from every other restaurant. The benefits are fair, the pay raises are regular and expected (but EARNED), the management truly is concerned with the success of the employees.

Cons

The pay at CBRL is not on par with other restaurants in the area, at least for line cooks. It's a restaurant job, so it's not going to be a steady 40-hour week unless you're really good at what you do.

Pros

Unlike other restaraunts, you can actually get raises after your par (Including evals). Managament cares about employees so they are always considering innovated ways to improve turn around for tables.

Cons

It is a restaurant job, so it's typically part time. If you need a full time job, this isn't the place for you unless you are in managment or you are working in corporate.
